Somebody please correct me if I have this backwards. I believe that as you dial in negative camber the wheels will toe out. Then when you toe in the wheels will move toward positive camber. Just stating so we all know what’s happening while adjustments are made.
Are you driving the car in between adjustment or do you have the tires on sliding plates? The tires on a concrete surface will resist the changes you make so you will be over adjusting to get it where you want it.
Bushings? I know you don’t want to but…
Assuming everything was right during the adjustment process, i.e. perfectly level concrete (rare), no loads other than the cars weight on the wheels, bushings are sound, etc., you still need to look at the method of measurement. Measuring in the garage gets me close enough to drive the alignment shop but unless you have alignment measuring tools and a perfect floor you are not close enough for real driving. No matter how many times I measure and adjust it amazes me how far from perfect I get.
I think that the best way to know for sure would be to put the car on an alignment rack and see what happens, and then you will know for sure.
