so a while ago i got a wheel bearing fixed. and my car re-aligned. but the alignment shop couldn't get things 100% perfect.

Front : Right caster is stuck at 1.0 degrees when it's specified range is 1.3 to 2.8.

at first my car pulled to the right, and then they adjusted something else to compensate for the caster being un-adjustable. and after that it was only a very slight pull.

i've since been in a front end accident which the insurance company repaired (minor frame damage they said was fix-able). and the alignment seemed a little bit better.

so now it's like 4 months later. and the alignment is not horrible, but still a slight pull to the right. and i'm noticing a slight shudder in the steering wheel on braking. so i'm sorta worried that i've warped a rotor (again) and that it could be indicative of another bad wheel bearing (yikes, hoping that's not the case) and want to get some opinions on what i should do regarding repairs.

furthermore, i was planning this year to spend a bunch of money with dr.tweak for an awd conversion and a 2gr-fe engine swap. i love my car and want to drive it until i die, but if somethings messed up permanently it might be a better idea to get another...just saying that makes me tear up...

any advice??

thanks a bunch. my mechanic thinks i probably shouldn't do the awd thing. but i'll still ask tweak a few more questions about it when i _know_ that i'll be able to afford it.

got some slotted drilled rotors on order (lifetime warranty). and going to try to get some strut bars to stiffen the body up.

the parts database only has listings for the bar: 53605-20020, and not the trim. i coulda' sworn i saw the 2 trim pieces listed on here somewhere. currently looking around, but if anyone knows em please post or drop me a pm.

thanks again
