Default Twitchy Steering

Well, I'm finally getting around to addressing this issue. Steering feels a little bit twitchy or follows the road slant a little too much - or am I imagining it? Anyone know if being at the lowest end of the Caster spec can cause this and be noticeable in handling?

It can be fixed, but I'm not sure If I want to go to the expense and bother to do it.

(I hit a pretty big raised asphalt section a while back - hit pretty damn hard so I wonder if that's what knocked the Caster back).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Just got the 'ol Z Aligned today.

Caster Spec: 4.4 - 5.9 deg.

Caster: (L) 4.5 (R) 4.3 (out of spec)

Is this unusual for these cars?

I don't see any way to adjust the caster.

Thanks for any info.
Update: Decided to just leave it alone. I think I just noticed it due to some very uneven roads around here.
