Actually no. Consider what it is that sets the caster angle, it's the line drawn between the top balljoint and the bottom balljoint, when viewed from the side. That's the axis that the hub swings around. So you can see that although the mushroom position (if it is eccentric) can have an effect on the trail, it can't affect the caster.
