and caster impacts the speed or force needed of steering as well as having a neutral center spot to return to.
camber is, basically, how parallel the tire is to the horizontal, you want negative to make the tire have more flat contact patch when hard cornering, however too much will wear the inside of the tire with may confuse...
toe is how parallel the tires are to each other, too much off in or out and the tires will wear outside or inside and if the camber and toe is off at the same time you may some very funny wear and confuse the tire guy...
front wheel drive cars pull with the front wheels (doh!) and toe setting is usually a bit different because the pull tends to make the tires go inward for them than rear wheel drive cars that push the front wheels which tends to make the tires splay outward.
of course the ball joints and tie rod ends can get in the mix and really foul it up too...
but then again, I could be wrong.... -Dennis Miller
