Normally caster is adjusted by the number of shims behind the fore and aft
lower A-arm attachments.Adding shims at the fore and/or removing them from the
aft will move the bottom of the wheel toward the rear of the car and reduce
caster. If you find one wheel more foreward than the other after the caster is
set properly of both sides then you need to look at the upper A-arms and/or the
bushings. It may also be a frame alignment issue.
Also note that adding or removing shims equally from both lower A-arm
attachment points will adjust camber with (practically) no effect on caster.
Reset tow-in after any caster or camber adjustment.
