Caster Adjustment

When I got my car aligned, the guy at the shop said my caster was way off and there is no way to adjust it, so now my steering wheel is always a little to the right and it pulls a little to the right.. was he right, or is there some way to adjust the caster?

i read on this board that camber and caster is adjustable by the position of the stuts.
TomP seems to know about our suspension he might be the one to ask

Caster is easy to adjust. Moving the top of the strut back(toward the rear) will increase caster. Tell them you want your money back and take it to somebody that knows what they are doing. A third gen alignment is very easy to do.
