Alignment & Steering Box Adj.

The adjustment to the box may not have done anything. The correct adjustment starts with the Torrington bearing at the input shaft, and then adjusting the screw on the top of the box. I believe the Torrington bearing causes more slop than the gear mesh adjustment.
 
I like a little "push" from the camber to make the car go straight on crowned roads. I usually have around "0" on the left, and -.25 deg. on the right. Since most roads are crowned, it makes about 90% of the driving have no steering input. You can get similar results with caster if you would rather go that way. The stock caster specs give you push for crown roads, but if you have less on the right, it can make you turn left all of the time. That will cause odd tire wear (left inside, and right outside).
 
I stated it backwards.
