I suppose it's possible there's a little positive caster built into the axle, and installing a thicker or thinner shim is used for adjustment. I've been doing and teaching wheel alignment for over 40 years, and it's pretty simple- - -just make the angles do whatever is necessary to make the vehicle steer and handle properly.
One thing we do need to keep in mind- - - -major changes to steering and/or suspension components often have unintended consequences where handling and safety are concerned. A lot of research and engineering goes into designing a suspension system, and a lot of the guys who tinker with a vehicle to make it please them cosmetically have little if any understanding of the physics that makes it steer, stop and handle properly.
