What would be a potential explanation for a alignment machine screen showing a caster of 3.8, but when the alignment is printed out, it says caster is 4.0. I have SPC UCAs, FWIW.

Well if that’s the case. Can you even trust the alignment #s on the screen are correct and you actually got the alignment you asked for.
