Scott at Canalignment is were most of us go.. He builds race cars, he's also a race instructor and he does complete chassis setups including corner balancing.

There are lots of good alignment guys. Very few great ones. Scott at Can-alignment is one of the great ones.

Scott was able to adjust the caster on my '97 Legacy. How far off is your caster? Do you have a handling issue? Scott also corner balances coilovers.

Caster goes off when you hit a big enough hole to push the control arm back. Our Subaru's specially your year do not have adjustable caster, the arm may need to be put under tension to pull it back to spec, or better yet, slightly more than spec. (More Caster the better).

Doing great actually, looks like you turned your car in to a race car, that's cool. You can actually slot the rear control arm mounts and get some caster that way, Scott has the ability to do that and there's enough compliancy in the front bushing to take the offset. On the STI, the aluminum front control arm has a separate pivot rod that goes into the bushing, that may have bent, if it's bent you can purchase a new one from the dealer, it's held on by 2 bolts.

Scott at Can-Alignment for any performance alignment. You can't get much better, and he's part of our car club.

Wait, if it's the browser it's not his fault.

actually web master, can you tell me why it happens? or does any web savvy person know why? I am registered with Google places and have been for 3 years but some searches come up with that error.

Thanks

Scott,

I do not see it any longer. I have done several searches, fixed maps, claimed listings.......but I hear it still happens. When I ask each person does not remember where they where looking
