Caster Adjustment Question So a few months back I had lost control and slid across some pavement. Once that happened the toe was pretty off. I took that as a good chance to re do the whole front suspension and lower it. It now has new shocks, springs, lca bushings and ball joints, inner and outer tie rod, new uca and wheel hub assembly’s. I did not get new LCA and just replaced the ball joints and bushings. Anyways the driver wheel sits far up in the wheel well. I had it aligned today and they took me back and showed me the screen. The caster adjustments were already in the green. So my question is when doing an alignment for caster, are you supposed to eye it or use the numbers on the screen. Or it could be the control arm or something is twisted. I don’t feel like it’s this because it still drives good and they were able to set the toe and camber within spec. And then also if I were to adjust caster myself, would it mess with the toe/camber.
thanks

Toe shouldn't move from sliding across some pavement, did you have an impact with anything, possibly bend something?
also did you tighten up the control arms under load?
