I know i have been on before usually about vehicle drifting left.But my main bug bear is that when turnig left or cornering left there seems little resistance on the steering wheel as there is when turning or cornering to the right, it seems to turn to easy.Would the caster angle cause this as these are the only ones on my four wheel alighnment check that are totally different ie left front47 in spec right front 31 out of spec.

Yes, castor angle will have the effect of pulling one way, as will camber and this will lead to more resistance turning one way, tyres can also have the same efect as can tyre pressures.
