2003 Evo 8 Rear Caster issues. **URGENT HELP PLEASE**

hello Gurus - I'm having issue with my Reach driver side wheel. It looks like it a caster issue.... it looks like my wheel has been titled back, I have been thinking that it has been a Alignment issue...but when I took it to get it re-aligned but they are saying that it your caster that needs to be aligned.

I have couple of question..
1. Is it possible to adjust caster for rear for EVO 8
2. If its not the caster is there any change it could be any other arms?

Caster is not adjustable in the rear. Is the wheel not centered in the wheel well or what do you mean its tilted back? Both camber and toe are adjustable on the rear through the use of eccentrics...

Oh ok! I was wondering that if there is a way to adjust the Caster. Well this is what on the left rear end... the Tire is rubbing my fender or bumper when i'm going trou a bump or something... It doesn't do that on the right rear tho.

Yesterday I was just looking at the rim and I noticed that the Gap between the tire and body is less on the rear end of the tire... but this is not the case on the other side, other side has perfect gap between the tire and body all around.

And no car has been been in a wreck.

Is the car on adjustable coilovers? If so is there a chance that the ride heights are different side to side? Also, the wheels could be rubbing on one side vs the other due to a difference in camber, i.e more negative camber will help tuck the tire under the rear fender...

Nope! just running stock suspension.
But the only thing I have changed is Toe and Camber arms that to because I changed my wheel to 18X9 with 245/40/r18.... I have noticed the wheel and body clearance before, but after the putting on the wheel and new tires and new arms I have noticed that my left driver side is rubbing that on the the rear of the fender.... but this is not happening on the right side tho, its only happening on the left side.

So at this point i'm going to jack up the car and check up on the upper and lower rear control arms,just to see if there is any damage to them.... is there anything which I need to look into or worry about?

So we can not adjust caster on the rear correct?

So you installed aftermarket adjustable camber and toe arms? If that that is most likely your problem and they arent adjusted properly. Hate to break it to you but those werent necessary and are most likely where you issue is arising from. Put back on the stock arms and try again.
