Tim, yes the reading for the caster was off and I know should have asked him what it was. Wasn't thinking that day, anyways I', lost too. The alignment shop said he would leave it alone and just drive it. Well I just can't do that, I like everything to be close to perfct if I can! I'm going to check everything that you all suggested and if all of it checks out ok I'm going to live with it I guess. Thanks for the help guys!!
