The camber you want solely depends on your intended useage of the car.
If maximum tire life is your goal. That -0.1 to -0.5 is good.
I read something about 80mph off ramp? 0.5 neg minimum.
A decent balanced number for most wide front tire Mustang enthuasiasts is like 0.75 neg.
Dont' be afraid to tilt them in over -1.0 if you are serious about cornering.
Lastly, trailed road course cars or autocrossers -2.0 to - 3.0.

Check
steering shaft joint cracked rubber isolator, also easily damaged from use of hammer and or torch usage.
ball joints, tie rods ,sway links, sway bar center bracket bushings. That is not normal and when you do find out what it is, it may be"too late".
I installed a new rack, tie rods, sway bushings etc, and noticed what your experiencing and am examining this weekend to let you know what I found.

Ford Racing Control arms/Ball joints, tie rods, end links, bushings etc are all brand new when I installed the new rack kit from Late Model Resto...
I just spent some time under there and all checks out...
This issue did start after the new rack kit and Cc plates install in April...Let me know if you find out anything....Thanks

if you want your cornering to improve, run more - camber. inside tire ear will increase, but rotate your tires more frequently and you will get reasonable wear. i don't put too many miles on mine, but i run as much - camber as i can (about -2*). At Buttonwillow, in a tight right hander my left front is square to the road.
if you stay on the strip or streets maybe it is not as important.
