Something is either out of wack or broken on you caster. 2 things come to mind, lower control arm (10), or front tension rod (18). If your car is lowered you may need a adjustable tension rod to adjust your caster.

Oh I just remebered, My lower control arm (10) was broken from where the lower tension arm(18) bolts to. The tension rod was just floating around.

Yeah definitely looks like something is broken or loose/out of place. Have you jacked it up yet to take a look at the suspension?
