Changing it requires cutting things, and is against the law. Check to see how many fingers you can fit between the front tyre and the strut tube. If it is 2 or more, the rims have too much offset and you have too much scrub radius. To fix that, you can only change wheels. I'm not sure how much the scrub radius will effect things though. Now that you have tried, its time to forget the factory wheel alignment specs. Get another alignment, this time with more caster. Even if this is not your problem, more caster will hide the problem and keep you going strait ahead in a more stable fashion. And make sure you have a tad of toe in. Also make sure your control arm and sway bar bushes are not worn out. [Report message to a moderator]
