caster kit

so i have been to get an alignment and my caster is pretty far off. so ive been told there is no way to adjust it from the factory.

there must be an aftermarket kit to adjust this on the car.

who makes it? how much is it? and is it worth it?

Im guessing your camber is off rather than caster... are you lowered on springs, coilovers? if so you will need to buy a camber kit with toe bolts if you want to bring your car back within limits these can run you about ~$300-500 depending for both front and rear.

If you are not lowered than they should be able to get the car back into spec, if not try a better alignment shop.

New upper control arms such as the one made by SPC will give you all three adjustments. Not cheap though.

Your caster shouldn't be out of spec if it is bone stock. There is some play in the bolt to hole clearances, so a good alignment shop will try and take advantage of that before telling you it's just not adjustable.
