I recently put 400 shocks and a-arms on my 300. I love the added suspension but my tires are caster or leaning to the middle. Is this normal and is there anyway to correct it. My tires are starting to wear unevenly. I used this pre fabed shock mount so i could use the 400 shocks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-300EX-to-400EX-Shocks-Conversion-Kit-also-250X_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43974QQihZ008QQite mZ180199799533QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
Anyways any ideas or comments i have been trying to figure this one out for a while????

I don't think there is anyway to correct this with stock 400 a-arms. The ball joint is fixed to the a-arm. An aftermarket a-arm will allow you to adjust it out.

Could you somehow affix aftermarket ball joints so you can adjust camber and caster? I am in the same boat btw.

My plan was to cut off the ball joint and having sleeve made to insert into the holes to make sure everything is centered and installing Old VW beetle tierod ends to fix issue.

86/87 250r a arms have adjustable ball joints. (camber adjustable)They mount up just like the 400ex arms but you will need to use the 300ex a arm bushings.
