Default Caster blocks?

I had an issue with the caster blocks while assembling my CR01. If I followed the instructions I ended up with different caster on the right and left sides of the truck even though they were marked with the same degrees. The link that connects R/L steering knuckles ends up at an angle.

Im not too worried about it as the truck drives great. Also my truck looks like it has positive camber in the back and negative in the front. Anyone else experince this?

Page 11 step 11 shows each axle gets a A and a B. Maybe you put two As on or Bs.

Camber? Straight axles have zero camber.

The camber thing as an optical illusion. I measured and they are both at zero.

Regarding the hubs I have an a and b on each axle. The problem is that they are both different degrees.
