Question about Torque are and alignment. I had my car aligned like 3 weeks ago and about a week ago me and a friend replaced my pinion seal. We disconnected the torque arm from the diff and suspended it out of the way. About 2 days ago for some reason my car started pulling hard left. I took it back to where I got it aligned (used to work there so it was cool) and had it done again. For some reason my caster was out on the right side and the toe on the right front wheel was 3.3 degrees 
Could disconnecting the torque arm do this? I'm wondering because I drove the car Monday and Tuesday and it was find and Tuesday night it just went crazy one me.

noop, might change thrust angle, which may change handling but would not change align on front.
as to alignment changing on Tuesday night you/someone driving you car hit some thing OR the teck left things loose when aligning car three weeks ago and Tuesday the right lower control arm moved after beening left loose
