I took my wife's new (new to us) 2001 SE in to the frame shop
yesterday to investigate the slight constant pull to the right. They
found that the caster angle is bad and is causing the pull. There
are no adjustments for this on these cars, only for toe in-out. They
say they see this a lot and that they fix it by loosening up the
whole front suspension and give it a tug here and there until things
line up. Sounds a little crude but it's a very reputable shop.

They aso found that the camber on the back is too much, the rear
wheels have a 2 deg camber angle, which is wearing out the insides of
my rear tires - again, no adjustments possible. They recommended a
camber adjusting kit, which is basically a replacement pin with an
offset that secures the upper control arm to the frame. Is anyone
familiar with these kits? Can you point me to a good vendor for them?

Thanks,
Bob
