If it looks like / \ thats camber, its decieving trying to measure castor by eye. Because alot is involved in how it sits and you need to measure from centre of the wheel back to the last point on the guard which aren't always correct both sides. An alignment machine will tell you.

KPI can also chance castor slightly nothing major though. If the castors out if your wheel aligner knows what hes doing he will just loosen all the k frame and move it slightly so it moves a tiny bit and that will do it. if it doesn't achieve anything you just give a lil more camber on the left than right.

to bring the camber out do you know how to do it? with the setup you now have?

Theres a bolt that pushes the hub out, sat a guard on it, its to dam high. The other thing that could be a problem is that its got very short link pins (there bad ass) to the fat vr sway bar. So bar going up would that have any affect? Need to roll it over to a host and do box-mount and vn bw78, any one wreaking a vl and not need rear part of tail sharft?
