went to a leschwab recently for an alignment check and fix, my car was pulling to the left. after “fixing” it, it quickly reverted itself back and so i went in again. they said it might not be the alignment that’s off but the “caster.” tried googling and didn’t understand what it was telling me.
help understanding appreciated.

Caster is a dimension of adjustment that “alignment” should set. Caster is the angle around which the tire steers left vs right. It is what helps a car tend to return to “going straight”, measured in the “going straight” direction. Camber is the angle in the “left to right” direction.
The alignment should have set it to the manufacturer’s spec. If it won’t stay in that setting, something else is wrong in your suspension. If you have front struts, you might have a strut mounting problem or one might be bent.
