I have been posting on NSX Prime regarding a seized caster adjuster on and off for about a year now. I think I have finally sorted it out.
I was told by 2 dealers and an alignment specialist that my seized caster adjusters couldn't be unseized and that I would need a new compliance adjuster for both sides (£1350 each side). I thought that sounded ridiculous.
I have now had a tool made up and with a few tricks of the trade from a friend in motor racing I have now got both sides unseized. I have had to have 2 new cams made up (you can't buy them seperately) but that is all and it has saved me about £2700.
I only mention it as knowing what I know now it is a relatively easy job and I wouldn't want anybody to shell out all that money for no reason. My caster is 4 degrees one side and 8 the other so I am still not sure that I can get them back into tolerance, but that is another matter.
