Default Wheel alignment specifications

After busting my steering stabilizer off a few weeks ago my front end hasn't felt the same at all steering shimmy and a few cases of DW. I've a 3" dbor starter and 33s and it drove surprisingly great with no issues until this damm stabilizer got hit. I've replaced the stabilizer with second hand rancho (thanks eddyg) and fitted the synergy relocation bracket, checked all ball joints, track bar, drag link, tie rod, control arms, checked all bolts and not been able to fault anything. After driving with a trailer with a quad bike the steering got a lot worse so i could only assume it was down to caster or toe. Got back from having a balance, rotate and wheel alignment done and has made a difference in tracking straight but still shimmy in the front although I've had no DW yet.
I've read quite a few threads on what specs caster/camber/toe should be within but would like it clarified for those who don't have too much of a clue (like myself). I understand what camber/caster/toe is and + or - mm but not sure on total toe or the tolerances. Could someone please shed some light on the figures in my front end or have any other theory's (stock lca's but never had a problem before) Thanks in advance.
