The caster angle does not depend on the mushroom inserts. It is fixed in the geometry of the wishbones. Imagine the top and bottom wishbones in place with the joints installed and correctly spaced. The caster angle is the inclination of the imaginary line between the centers of balljoints, the kingpin axis. The excentric mushroom moves the hub around this line, but does not change the inclination of the line.
