I have a similar mismatch on my car. Some cars are designed with slightly
different caster settings in order to compensate for road crown.
By "adjusting" and taking advantage of clearances and tolerances, you might
be able to get it to 3.5 degrees each side. This may require a trip to a
frame alignment shop, or a blacksmith, however.
