Caster was usually adjusted by shimming both sides to tilt the axle, but one with a twist already in it might only need a shim on one side. Have a good alignment shop check it to see what the variation is side to side. The oldtime correction for road crown to make the vehicle track straight was to put 1/2 degree less positive caster on the driver's side. Jerry
