Default damaged frame affecting alignment?

this is for a is300

car has been pulling to the right and the front tires have been wearing out on the inside so I took the car to the alignment shop hoping to fix the problem.

camber and toe are within specs but the caster isnt. What could be the possible fix for this? what suspension components can change caster?

car is salvaged (hit on the right side)

please help, ive changed the tires twice in two years already!

thanks!

take it to a body shop that has a laser frame rack and have them pull the frame back into spec , it will be easy to fix but the previous wreck is the culprit.
