From memory: Front toe 1mm in or out (trie both see which you like) Camber 1 - 1.5 neg castor - as much as possible - in reality 3-4 deg rear 1mm toe in (needs to be adjusted with shims on radius arms) camber 1 - 1.5 neg These are pretty good base settings for a road car. If this doesn't sort it - check your wheelbase on each side - should be within a few mm of each other. If not check for bent or worn radius arms and misaligned sub frames |

there is your problem there. Swap these for mini hubs. |
