Default Is something bent on my front suspension?

I just had an alignment done. I had a little shimmy at 43mph. I replaced steering stablizer cause it was leaking.

Anyway, to be on the safe side, I had my tires balanced and my alignment checked at Goodyear store.

I know the only thing they can adjust is toe and I can do that myself, but I can't tell if my passenger side lca is bent. I know it's not straight angle to begin with. (I was wondering if thats why my right caster value is different than left side.)

Anyway these are my numbers before and after. I have 2.5 TF lift with AEV control arm relocation brackets, 35/12.5/15 MTRs.

Should the left and right caster values be the same?
