I think you'd be ahead reading Fred Puhn's book - How to make your car handle.

How to Make Your Car Handle: Fred Puhn: 9780912656465: Amazon.com: Books

While the book is a bit old and is geared towards race cars, the principles don't change over time and knowing those principles will help you sort things out.

Important point from the book: Suspensions can either change camber or change track width - one or the other (or both!) - and that affects how the vehicle responds to changes.

(or maybe I got that from Carroll Smith's books. Can't remember!)
