Rear camber & toe-in tweaks effecting each other
Discussion
Rear camber vs toe-in
I've had the front end adjusted nicely on a Hunter machine, and in good shape.
The rear measurements are certainly acceptable, even toe-in (0°06' and 0°07') with a thrust angle of -0°01' (basically 1/60th of a degree off zero), and camber at -0°40' on either side.
But I'm considering adding a bit more camber (to -1°) to the rear having pushed the car around some cheeky B roads the other day.
If I adjust the rear camber, which way should I expect the toe to change?
In my head, and with the toe adjuster being on the front of the wishbone (I don't want to touch this), adding 1/3° negative camber might increase the negative toe-in. I suspect it might be within tolerance, but I am not certain.
Am I better to just shut up and drive the car?

I would imagine rear camber is a nightmare to adjust on the driveway.
It's just a slotted bolt hole in the wishbone so you'd have to jack up, tweak, drop, measure, rinse, repeat....
If theres weight on the wheels it just want to collapse.
Mine was done by someone with a propper lift and it still took quite a while to get right...
