Suspension Woes: high milage and alignment, help!
I had my car aligned today here are the results:
Front l R
Camber -1.4 -.02
Cross camber -1.2
Caster 9.2 8.0
Cross caster 1.2
SAI 6.0 5.8
Toe .04in .03in
Total Toe .07
Rear
Camber - 1.6 -1.5
Cross Camber -.1
Toe .05in .06in
Total Toe .11in
Thrust Angle -.01
From this I got that my caster is so far off that my car natural pulls to the right. This cannot be helped? Why is my caster so far off?
I would really like to correct my pulling issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I have a substantial amount of squeaks and rattles which I think are due to the high milage of my car. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?(new busing etc?)

Okay well... after considering my options for correcting my issues I have decided to drop more money than I planned to:
I ordered SPC A arms; these should correct my camber and caster.
SPC front end links to hopefully releave some of the noises
Hotchkins Sway bars to round it off while I have everything apart.
