Default Alignment question

Hey all... I recently put four new PS2's on my 05 C2S and had an alignment done at the dealer. I obtained a copy of the printout. They brought everything to within spec except for the caster settings at my front wheels. Currently 7.33 and 7.17 which were left unchanged. They were highlighted red before and after. I believe that the optimal setting for this car is 8.10 +/- .30. I realize that they are only off by a few tenths of a degree, but shouldn't they have adjusted the caster? What affect, if any, is this going to affect my handling or ride quality. All other settings are optimal and front camber is -.28 Just spirited driving here, no track. Thanks

I think the caster adjustment is usually maxed out after setting the camber, so they probably just got all they could. You've got to get toe and camber where you want, so there might not be much to do about it. I don't think you will experience any wear problem from it, so unless you notice a driveability issue, it's probably nothing to worry about.
