A question about caster…

A couple weeks ago, I hit a curb in the BMW 330, enough to just barely bend the wheel. I have low profile tires, so I’m not surprised about that. That said, I took it in yesterday to check the alignment, and the caster on the left side is less than the right side.

The left is +6.1 and the right is +7.0*. I have adjustable camber plates, but that’s all we could get. The car pulls to the left just a little bit. So this tells me something’s up.

After I pull the wheel, I’ll check everything and see if anything is obviously bent, etc.

If I can’t find anything, what do you think about making the right side match the left, at +6.1? Is there any downside to that?

* This is the way the race shop set it up in addition to camber and toe for the track.
