ok. So my fox has a twisted body as some of you know and my left front wheel is perefectly in the middle compared to the right side. i thought this is cause of the body. But then i thought mabye my caster is off, so i posted pics so you guys can see and you tell me what you think.


This is the front left and look at the spacing between the front of the tire and the fender.


And now look at the right side. Its waay off.

Shots of the CC plates would probably be better. Could also be that your K member is shifted too.

I'd put money on bent A arms or a shifted K member if the frame turns out not to be bent.

What were the readings when you did the alignment?

Even major movement at the top of the strut to change caster make visually imperceptible changes in wheel placement. Something's bent.
