Default Alignment adjustment help

Hey all I was hoping to get a little help with a few alignment adjustments. I was able to get my toe into spec however I am still getting a pull due to my camber being uneven from one side to the other. Also my caster is out of spec but online by .01 degrees. My question is even though there is no specified adjustment in front camber and caster are there any ways at all to get just a little adjustment on these specs? I'm a Toyota tech and when we need to adjust camber on our cars we can loosen the bottom strut bolts and get .3 or so degrees of adjustment. I was hoping for something along the same line like shifter a bushing mount point or something.

That .01 of caster I'd not worry about until figuring out the camber. You didn't post what your front camber specs were. First, I don't believe there is a factory camber correction on the 2IS. Second, I'd check to see if the front cross-member can be tweaked. Mine had to be to get my slightly pull to the right corrected. If all of that is done and you still are having issues, then the aftermarket can help with SPC adjustable ball joints or getting an entire aftermarket UCA.

Yeah I'm not too worried about the caster as much as the camber. I can't remember what my numbers were but I do remember my cross camber was just out of spec.
