Caster is not adjustable on the Evo. Might see slight variations from left to right when getting aligned.

I got an alignment yesterday and the tech was concerned because the front Caster is suppose to be between 3.4 and 4.4 My passenger front Cast was 3.3 (.1 off).

That the wheel I smacked into a curb after hitting black ice.

Does the car track straight? .1 of a degree is not much.

caster will usually go off once you hit something hard, likely the subframe has shifted.
Caster is not adjustable on EVO, but there is caster kit available, ask Robispec he knows more about it

.1 is not a big deal. 3.4 and 4.4 is a concern. The car will pull to one side if the difference is a full degree different from side to side.

What are the full specs of the alignment for front and rear, both sides?

Driving my 1gen DSM (it had a front suspension alot like the Evo), while backing and turning, I hit a post with the face of the tread on the driver's front. I got out and saw no damage but when I drove away the steering wheel was cocked about 90 degrees from normal.

Back home and with the car up, I loosened the bolts on the lower control arm on that side and got things moved back to where they should be. The rear bushing had been yanked to one side. Then, after replacing a blown strut and resetting toe, everything was normal.
