Bent control arm
Just get it aligned- trust me, the upper control arm has a good 1.5" of caster adjustment. I hit the brakes hard once and folded the right front nearly into the fender because the upper control arm's adjustment bolts weren't tight.
I'll look into an alignment, but i do not think that my caster being out of spec would be the problem. The right front is sitting slightly further back than the left front. I guess they could change the specs to counteract this but i'd rather fix the problem the right way if it is indeed a bent control arm.

The top control arm can shift a lot on you the bottom no it has no adjustment at all I have remove them and seen how much they can get out of alignment. So it could be you just need an alignment done. Get a shop to look at it first before you freak out be warned if a shop see's you freaked out on this they may take advantage of this and give you a large estimate of work needing done. Any shop will take advantage of people freaking about anything they see you as an easy payday like most woman get taken by auto shops.

Lucky Caster isn't a big tire wear. Unfortunately, if caster moved, camber and toe both likely did, which can cause excessive tire wear. With that said, it is possible to have a spec camber/toe adjustment and have caster way off in no-man's land.
