Wayne is right, at least as far as the rear camber is concerned. The camber is indeed changed by adding or removing shims of different thickness. These shims go between the mounting bracket for the outer end of the trailing arm and the body, up "above" the bracket.

Toe is adjusted by loosening the bolts on that outer trailing arm bracket (the same bolts that go through the shims), and shoving on the arm in the direction you want it to go. Then you torque down the bolts.

There's a good set of DIY alignment procedures around on the net somewhere--some british-car-oriented Web page. Wish I still had it bookmarked... You might be able to find it if you do a web search.
