My 74 145 pulls slightly to the left. All tires rotated around, all brakes/bearings checked, toe-in played with and set to 0".

I'm thinking that slightly more caster on the front left might straighten it out, that is, one more thin shim under the upper a-arm rear shaft bolt. Is this a good place to start?

I've also heard that adjustment with this means is a bad idea altogether, that it stresses the shaft or bolts excessively, and that fron suspension adjustments should be made between the crossmember and the body. How would that change just one side, by bending the crossmember?
