You can't adjust caster. Caster changes when camber changes.

The only real way you can change the caster is crash the car.
The swap didn't cause the issue.
Caster doesn't change without a caster plate. Its the angle of the shock front to back. The "lay back" angle of the shock if you will.
It also won't make the car pull, it can change the steering response to an input, but not cause a drift.
Your toe makes the car pull, camber can also make the car pull.

Well i checked all my numbers on the car, and they are set to the stock limits. But on the Invocie i got, i said "Right Side Caster Can not be changed, Car will pull to right" i can type out all the numbers on the sheet that i got with the alignment.

Set with in stock limits is a very broad term.... meaning just because its with in spec, doesnt mean its any good.... if one side is slightly toed out (with in spec) and one side is toed in (also with in spec) this can cause the car to pull, even though both settings are with in Spec... We need to see the #'s.
