When it comes to the castor of your front wheels is one wheel set farther forward then the other? The wheels are not centered in the wheel well opening. Just some rough measurements also point out that my right hand wheel sits farther forward. Thanks Jerry:beers:

No, not unless you are into circle track racing! Just kidding, no they should be the same caster. You may have other issues

Has the car been in a crash or had any front sheet metal replaced?

Well, I left that part out cause it would seem obvious. It did get punched at least once maybe even twice. The very front of the left frame rail where the rad support mounts is a little tweaked. With the left fender off: just in front of the drivers door, the sheet metal is crumpled, with the fender in place this is not noticeable. But I have also looked over the drivers side frame rail and I see no wrinkles or kinks anywhere. I took some measurements, its hard to get perfect but it looks like the drivers wheel sits farther back then the pass side by 3/4". It drives just fine but I have not had anyone follow me to see if it dogtracks.

Idealy, the right tire would have .2 -.3 more positive caster to compinsate for road crown. This would put the right wheel slightly further back in comparison to the left, but not enough for you to notice in any case. Dogtracking is caused by the rear tires being out of alignment.
