I took my 90 740 turbo into an alignment shop and had them do a front-end alignment.

Like I thought, my toe in was pretty off from replacing tie rods and such, but the camber on one side was off (they adjusted it somehow), and the caster is at 3.5 and 3.8. The range they list for caster is 4.5-5.5 degrees. They're using a range for "88-92".

Is there any adjustment for caster, or anything that wears and affect caster? Maybe they're using the wrong reference range too. I'll check my manual.

Cheers!
