Your settings are fine for a street car.....except you need to have 1/8”inch Toe-in....that’s why the car is wandering on the highway.....

If you change any Heim in the suspension....it will change every setting on all of the other Parts of the suspension....

There are set up procedures for the street and also for the track and they are not interchangeable.....therefore...you must make up your mind on which set up you want....example....street - 1/8” Toe-in.....-1/2* degree negative camber & 3*-5*degrees positive Castor....

Race setup....5*-7*degrees positive Castor...-2* to -3*degrees Negative Camber....1/8” Toe-in .....

Each setup requires complete alignment of the wheels to the chassis ....which means you don’t go changing settings independent of each other.....

Further more you have to know what to change when you get the tires hot enough....and I doubt you will ever be able to get the tires up to temperature....we have a procedure when we come off the track.....tire temperatures across the tire and pressure on each tire starting with the front tire that is loaded the most then proceed around to the rest of the tires. Those readings will tell us exactly what to do to the suspension......

So to answer your question......it is a very involved process that takes years of experience to know what to do to any vehicle.....and how you drive the vehicle.
