Thanks for the alignment info, helps to know where others are set.
I have two comments about the caster.
First, the CROSS CASTER = LH - RH and the normal range is -1.5 to +0.5, yours is set at 0.0 which is a bit out of range. So, IN THEORY, if you drive hard and fast in both lanes then you are good to go. If you are more conservative and normally drive on the RH side of the road crown then you might feel the tendency for the unit to want to go a bit to the right side of the road. Again, this is the theory.
Secondly, speaking from experience (mine was LH +3.3 RH +3.5, almost same as yours) if you ever have the feeling that the "steering box needs to be tightened" then you should look into more +Caster. I added +2 to each wheel to go to LH+5.3 and RH +5.5 and it solved a lot of, what I thought, were handling issues.
