I am looking to help a friend that just purchased a 2003 R50. Due to unusual tire wear, the car went in for tires and an alignment. Short story is that the right front caster is too little by about one degree and the totalrear toe is ok but offset to one side the car will be crabing down the road slightly. So I am suspecting a bent front right control arm and a misplaced rotated rear subframe. Ideas?

As far as the front adjustment goes, the pins will have to be rmeoved from the front struts, then the adjustment can be made. As far as to why it is out, if it is slightly, could be due to worn components.

Rear toe is adjusted via the trailing arm mounting plates. This can also be due to work components.
