Kent,

I don't know if this will help or not but I was just going through an ERA build manual and they gave the front and rear specs. If you give me a fax number, I'll shoot them over to you. Given my poor writing, I wouldn't dare to try to list them here as I'm sure I'd mistake something.

I think your camber settings are way off.
I have set my CAV with 1 degree negative camber in the rear and 1/2 deg. negative in front. Maybe you meant CASTOR? I set 4.5 deg castor in front and 4 deg in the rear.
