a good place to start is 1/8- 3/16 toe in ,0-.7 degrees negative camber you do not have much choice for castor you can buy shims to increase many of us have no complaints . tire pressure 16-18 in front 24-28 in rear if your damper is worn you will feel some improvement at speed

crash55 replied to the topic Shift bushing change?? in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 8 months ago
you have to disconnect the coupler on the other end of the rod & slide it forward till it is out of the bushing (or where the bushing was ) put the bushing in the hole do not forget the little ring then slide the rod back in . I used a string around the rod to lift it back up to slide back in . check out the samba website lots of good info
