Ok, about 2 or 3 months ago I purchased a 1996 Honda Accord Ex 2 Door, the following week I got new wheels and rims on it, waited a few to set up the alignment appt, and last week I took it in to get aligned, my alignment was perfect, but he said that my camber and caster need to be adjusted, know I don't know a lot about cars but I know a little bit, and I have never heard about cambers or caster, so any info you can give my would be very helpful, I do know that my car is pulling right so I'm guessing that my left camber and caster is higher up than my right, I got the alignment at Les Schawb and the little degrees its off is 2.9 on the left and 1.6 on the right for my camber :eek:

Caster and camber adjustments are normally part of a good alignment job. Caster and camber refer not to the alignment but to two other axis. The tops of your tires are just slightly further out than the bottms. Check out this site for more detailed info. Caster, Camber, Toe (http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html)
