front suspension and adjustments

[dmann]

I'm wanting to dig in and understand all the front end and suspension area components that make up our cars. Specifically, the parts like Tie rods, control arms and such that allow for camber, castor, Toe-in/out setting. This is a time for the mechanically minded geeks to shine

Any help understanding this is appreciated.

What exactly are you looking for? Need some defined questions to really answer.

From a little searching, i think we have what's called a double wishbone design. I want to know what parts are responsible for setting the camber, castor, and toe.

Lower control arms have eccentric bolts for castor and camber, toe links for toe.

Is that all of it?

If you were inclined you could shim the steering rack up or down to adjust the bump steer otherwise yes.
