The drivers side is definielty looking better passenger side but for the most you are equal on both sides the passenger has more positive caster than the other, that wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle as well as unequal side-to-side camber of 1° or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the most positive camber. The caster caster is telling me that the lower ball joint is +6 degrees in front of the invisible vertical line, which could be some play there. Nothing should up in the turn so as long as the steering isnt throwing you around and it runs straight keep it going.
I think 6 degrees is the max for castor.

I would recommend tire kingdom.
Make sure the particular shoo has the rack big enough for the excursiion. They provide a computer readout with before and after measures along with the specs. Makes it easy to read and you can tell what -if anything - they adjusted. Results are color coded green or red for within or out of spec. I have used them for over 20 years.

I had actually lost my castor nut (possibly had came loose from the accident back in June) a couple of months ago or less and I had no idea what to get so I got a 2 degree and just turned the slot to match where the passenger side slot was. Just did the ball joints a couple of weeks ago on the drivers side. Was still tracking straight even with the 2 degree castor. We are fixing to put about 300 miles on her today so Ill be able to see if I can tell a difference. Misky, my readings are in the pdf in my post. Thanks.
