So put the GSI in for alignment and the caster is out on one side, what's the options on curing this?
Camber was borderline but I know camber bolts can sort that out.

is your bottom arm bent? that would cause it. or has it had a bump?
which way are they out?? too much or not enough?
As mike says,or is your strut top turret bent? rotten? been replaced and not quite right?
Before you cure it find out why its like that.
It's to much castor resulting is liking left hand bends and not so much liking right handers ,
I shall measure the strut tops and check the bottom arms, it's the o/s that's out and no signs of damage in the past.

With the nova being mass produced id imagined none of them left the factory bang on, so depending how far its out id imagine the tolerance levels would be marginally high
Tolerance, not just a measurement but something required to own a nova

How much is it out?
If it's lowered then the castor will change. Castors would be different side-to-side anyway due to normal tolerances (unless you're lucky), so lowering has probably put one outside the nominal spec and left the other just inside.
If the difference between them (not the actual number) is still within spec then I wouldn't do anything - changing castor isn't easy on a Nova.
If it likes corners one way more than the other you'll find this very highly adjustable via front camber adjusters. Note that adjusting the toes via this method would then put the toe out again...
I'll put the figure up later as I can remember off the top of my head,
And yeah it's lowered, too low for my liking to be honest, I do have eccentric top mounts but I'd rather not use them on this nova,

Hmm just shows I can get sh1t wrong from memory ,
Oh and it also shows how some folk don't even bother about a proper set up :-/
