    Coilover setup

    Right so got my coilovers refitted had a 4 wheel alignment done but they mentioned the caster angle was slightly out any ideas how to get this corrected, Is it just wearing ball joints or something else. When i'm on full lock turning right the passenger side front tyre scrapes the wheel arch quite badly, this doesn't happen when turning left so think I need to get the clearances checked, could this be caused by the caster angle being slightly out on the left side?

    Any recomendations where I can get the coilovers setup around birmingham , I've read they need 4 corner balancing with weights added to the drivers side to simulate the driver is this right?
