I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

The last alignment I had was ~1k miles ago in December.

the final numbers look great, how's it drive? the caster doesn't match, but i'm guessing it's either not adjustable, or they did it to offset how the road arcs to the gutter/curb

I've only driven it on the way back from the shop, but it feels great so far!

I'm running the Raceseng top hats, so I believe caster is actually adjustable.

Like did you change your camber settings yourself after you had your previous alignment done? Because as you probably know, camber affects toe spec.

Very weird. So my other guess is they forgot to properly torque the toe rods and they just worked themselves loose over the 1k you drove.

Maybe? But it's not like it's a cheap-o brand, so I'm going to stick with my guess that they didn't tighten it down the last time.
