Caster off,bent A arm.

I just took my 91 runner in for a wheel pack and the steering rod recall and they said that they can't adjust the caster anymore on the dr side and it pulls to the right.Last time I had it aligned(this last summer)Les schwab said the sai was off.This alignment showed the the caster was

when it went in dr side was 0.7* pass side was 0.1*,limits are

Now it's dr side 1.6* and pass side is 2.0* Limits are 1.7* - 2.7*
The tech said to look at the lower A arm or lower control arm.What do you guys think?
They also said thatthe brake pads were installed upside down.

Have you 'hit' anything out wheeling or something? I ran into a clod of grass/dirt about 2 weeks ago with my LF and now it pulls to the left. I have to keep the wheel a bit to the right to keep me straight. I also hear a clunking from the LF area every so often. I'm thinking mine is a-arm bushings, ball joint or maybe tie rod. I think a-arm bushings tend to get neglected as far as maintenance.

It actually did it after I dropped it off at a shop last year.It was fine before but was bad when I picked it up and wasn't able to get anywhere with the shop.I don't take this one wheeling as it's the family truck.
