Some basics:

Camber: The angle of the wheel when viewed from the front or back.

Toe: The angle of the wheel when viewed from above.

Caster: The angle the front wheels pivot on when steering.

Bound: How quickly the springs compress under load.

Rebound: The speed at which the wheels return to normal ride height when unloaded.

Giving the front wheels a bit of negative camber (top of wheel tilted inward) will improve a car's cornering, but adding too much will reduce straight-line stability and increase tire wear. Giving the rear wheels a touch of positive camber (top of wheel tilted outward) will make a car more "drifty".

Bound and rebound generally control how still your suspension is. Stiffer is better for road cars, and softer is better for offroad performance.

Just start messing around with the settings and see what effect you changes have. Experiment, learn.

Good luck! :steamhappy:

Not sure about "knee". Damping is basically bound ad rebound rolled into one.
