here is a quote from the link you posted:
"In terms of car handling, this means that the end where the link is angled down the most (highest RC) has the most grip initially, when turning in, or exiting the corner, and that the end with the lowest RC when the chassis is rolled will have the most grip in the middle of the corner. So if you need a little more steering in the middle of the corners, lengthen the front upper link a little. (Be sure to adjust camber afterwards) If you'd like more aggressive turn-in, and more low-speed steering, either set the rear upper link at less of an angle, or increase the front link's angle a little."
so in laymans terms:
more shims decreases initial turn in while increases mid turn steering
less shims (more angle) increases aggressiveness,low speed steering and turn in.

I found this amazing setup guide from Hudy. It's 1/8th scale oriented for a few things, but it's a great guide to read. I've gone through it twice already and have several things I'm going to test out on Tuesday when I go back to the track.

The car pushes on corner entry because it has too much ackermann effect. When you first turn into the corner, weight transfers to the outer quickly, and this wheel hardly has any steering angle. As the car slows through the corner, some weight is transfered back to the inside wheel and the car increases steering.
I have found that by drilling a new hole in the steering block next to the existing hole, you will reduce the ackermann effect and really improve the steering feel throughout the corner. All the Durangos that run at my track have tried the mod and everyone has felt it made the car much better. My car currently has fastest lap and fastest run up here on the current layout.
Hopefully I can find time to write down my current setup and post it, but if you try just the steering mod I think you will like it.

Heres my current setup, its working really well on our current layout but on the previous layout I felt as if the rear shocks could still use a bit more pack.

I'm having the same problem, the car becomes uncontrollable when landing. I'll try with some extra washers because its clear it has a lot of bump steer. I have the car reasonable dialed, but the front end needs work.
