Not this load of poo again. 
Set the caster to max positive. Both sides. So the car is more stable in a straight line and self centers better.
Then set your camber from there. You want 1/2 to 1 degree negative depending on how hard you corner.
Doing this will also take some of the caster out.
So you have to decide which you want better. Cornering or self centering. Add or remove negative camber to adjust that ballance. But keep within that 1/2 to 1 degree range. More than 1 degree could effect tyre wear.
Aim for 3/32 inch toe in. That is about 2.5mm.
It is well worth saying that all this is poinless if there is any wear in the steering bushes or ball joints.

Ivor, I thought you may have been away.
Dave, thanks for that. All the the steering bushes and ball joints have renewed in the past couple of weeks. So it's all got to be set up again.
