Caster problem.... Help.

[scirocco86@home.com]

Lists,
	My scirocco has a caster problem. The drivers side strut 
appears to have about 2 degrees or so of too much caster which is 
pushing the drivers side wheel forward and causing it to track first. 
The control arms are both fine and not bent, and the upper strut 
bearings are poly units. You can even visually see it by looking at 
the "hat" that goes over the strut bearing... it sits very unevenly 
with the wheels straight ahead on the drivers side with the back 
about 1mm away from contacting the plate, and the front way up 
as compare to the even passenger side. The next and last thing im 
trying is to swap struts from the passenger side to the drivers side 
and so forth. If the problem moves to the passenger side of the car 
then I will assume the strut or strut housing is bad and start pulling 
it apart.... if not wtf do I go from here? Has anyone else had this 
problem? It's a 86 16v car by the way, and the front subframe bolts 
up with no problems so I'm assuming the unibody isn't hosed...... 
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
 Gary Huff
