As above. Need to know the process for aligning a mk4 platform subframe. Are there locating pins that are used?

Doesn't appear to have holes in the chassis for pin locations - this is copied from the workshop manual.

Just states to adjust the subframe until camber/caster is equal.

Replace bolts too, it says..

So having unequal castor, would this cause the steering to pull to one side? Feel really unresponsive and quite floppy?
