Discussion
I had a 4 wheel alignment yesterday and would be interested and appreciate to understand if these have been adjusted correct degrees.
After adjustment
Total toe(FA) 0.22
LF Toe-in 0.10
RF Toe-in 0.12
LF Camber -1.63
RF Camber -1.34
Total toe(RA)0.75
LR Toe-in 0.51
RR Toe-in 0.24
LR Camber -1.81
RR Camber -1.85
Thrust angle -0.13
Wheelbase difference 0.05
Track difference 1.04
Front wheel setback 0.03
Rear wheel setback 0.09
Thanks

If that's on standard suspension (correctly ballasted & balanced with simulated driver & fuel), then the factory figures are:
Front Camber -1.0º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Rear Camber -1.8º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Front Toe: 0.03º to 0.13º
Rear Toe: 0.18º to 0.28º
Front Camber -1.0º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Rear Camber -1.8º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Front Toe: 0.03º to 0.13º
Rear Toe: 0.18º to 0.28º

Front Toe: 0.03º to 0.13º
Rear Toe: 0.18º to 0.28º
So that's why the rear end is always stepping out Front Camber -1.0º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Rear Camber -1.8º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Front Toe: 0.03º to 0.13º
Rear Toe: 0.18º to 0.28º

Do I need a camber read out? Just read this..
The good news is that most modern cars only have adjustments for toe. Caster and camber went the way of the dodo thanks to the McPherson strut.
Edit:
This is how a full read out should look I think, maybe the guys I went to had a basic system
