I did my front bushes recently, and based on my limited experience, the castor angle shouldn't be affected much, if whoever did the job measured the radius rod lengths and put them back the same. The camber can easily be checked using a triangle of ply with an exact right angle and some bits cut out to clear the tyre etc, resting on a FLAT floor. Exactly right angles to the floor is as good as you'll need to get, although 2mm of negative looks a bit better. Camber adjustment only takes a couple of minutes. Any tyre depot will be able to check and adjust the toe setting for you. I got fed up with them leaving the steering wheel off-straight, so for many years I have used a home made giant wooden caliper and a tape measure. It's as good as any fancy electronic gizmo.

Since doing my own tracking and camber I haven't had any tyre wear problems.

I'll post some pics if anyone's interested.
