Easy way to remember is:
Front cam does the same to camber and caster, (adds or subtracts both).
Rear cam does opposites, (for example: adds camber & subtracts caster).
If you need to adjust camber only, both cams will need to be adjusted
in equal amounts, in opposite directions.
Keep in mind that ANY adjustment to chassis ride height, camber or caster, WILL affect toe.
Well crap. Another "twist" added. (See what I did there?) If I'm going with negative camber any real way of figuring how much toe and which direction? Trial and error?

More negative camber (moving the upper control arms inward) will give you more toe out. You can measure it with a tape measure by marking a line around the tire and comparing the measurements at the front and rear of the front tires.
