Rear suspension alignment questions

Need to adjust my toe and camber of the rear wheels. Have my gauges and strings setup.

Beside the two swing arm bolts do I loosen BOTH the camber and the toe eccentric bolts and make both adjustments together and then lock all bolts down to preserve the settings?

Or can I just loosen the two swing arm bolts and loosen the toe centric, make my adjustment for toe then lock all bolts to preserve setting.
Thanks

loosen BOTH the camber and the toe eccentric bolts at the same time . then adjust camber , then toe
0 toe at ride height, toe goes in as the suspenssion gets compressed

Thank you.
Looked in my Hanes manual, you tube and pelican site. No articles or videos showing how to do this!
Thanks for the help.
Good racing this year

Play with the adjusters a lot . that way you will get an idea of what is a misstake and what is a fix,
It all has to do with where the eccentric is in it's rotation as to how much the turning makes a change .
Good luck and practice tons

Sometimes the toe eccentrics will limit the camber adjustment range. If it’s eccentricity is up or down, it will affect how far you can adjust the camber. So when starting out, it’s a good idea to remove the toe eccentric, set camber, then reinstall the toe eccentric and set the toe.

You will likely have to go back and forth with the two, as they affect each other.
