Front End Adjustment
Camber - The degree angle of the tire leaning in towards the center of the chassis. Camber affects steering at the mid corner point. If your car pushes out at the mid corner point increase the camber degree. To much camber will make your car hook (rear end spins out) in the middle of a turn.
Castor - The degree angle of the king pin leaning back towards the rear of the car. Castor affects a few things. First it helps the car absorb bumps instead of bouncing down the track. At high speed it will give your car more initial cut (turn in) when entering a turn, this is the same advantage gained by using stiff H bars without giving up rear traction an example castor will help is if your car pushes out at the end of a straight-away. Castors most useful for finishing turns. It stops the car from pushing out on the exit of a turn as you begin to accelerate. To much castor will make the car over rotate when exiting a turn.
  
Toe-In / Toe-Out - Toe in/out is the front end alignment of the tires. Each has benefits and disadvantages. Toe-in carries less speed through a turn but makes the car less likely to wonder as it goes down the straight away. Toe-out will give the car correct Ackerman to carry speed through the turn, but it's difficult to go in a straight line.
