Effect of Caster

My caster is out due to hitting a curb covered by snow last winter.
Is there any effect to tire wear? steering drift? during braking?

Thanks

if by caster you mean the bushings in the various control arms, then hell yes - monster tire ware, but not necessarily steering drift, and it will likely shudder during breaking.

if by caster you mean the wheel hub, the brassy lookin thing and the end of the axle, it's likely that dirt and various other debris will find its way into places that it shouldn't and your axle may begin to deteriorate.

if by caster you don't mean any of these two things, could you be more specific, or post a picture?
