    Suspension issue with the A6

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello, I need an advice on an issue with my suspension.

    I hit a rock the size of my fist on the freeway about a week ago. The tire seems fine but the OEM 18" wheel cracked.

    Just at the right time. my BC Forged wheels has just arrived, I figure it was just the right time to replace all wheels and get an alignment done.

    Toe and camber were within spec, however the caster is off. The caster's left side is 4.2, while the right side is 5.0

    I can feel the car steers slightly more to the right if I center the steering wheel. Took it to a local suspension shop, everything was checked and nothing was bent or broken. Tie rod, lower control arm and sub-frame were all good.

    So what are my options now?

    I read online that I can adjust my tie rods to center the steering wheel?
    Should I be worried that my caster is off since it doesn't affect tire wear anyways?

    Hoping anyone can give me any input.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Just a regular local shop I usually go to for my alignments. Nothing fancy but will get the job done right.
