Rear camber and affect on toe?

I had to correct the camber on my passenger side rear wheel. It apparently had "slipped" over time. Not sure why but it was about -1.25 degrees more than the drivers side. I used a basic magnetic angle indicator so I am not fooling myself with precision accuracy here. This was my first time making this adjustment and I will be taking it to a shop to comfirm my work and for piece of mind.

But my question is how the camber adjustment affects the toe settings. My assumption is that if I put the camber back to where is was from the previous alignment/CB then the toe should be correct also (assuming the toe eccentric bolt setting didn't change.)

When I moved the camber eccentric I could see the camber and toe movement. I understand that the camber eccentric can be rotated 360 degrees and will bring the camber setting "in and then back out" so that there are in effect two eccentric settings that will give you basically the same camber angle. It appears however that depending on the direction of the eccentric lobe (front vs. rear) the direction of change to the toe setting is either positive or negative. Is this correct and has anybody coorelated how much toe change results from a given camber change? Am I trying simplifying this too much?

Thanks
Andrew

Bump. I'm looking for an answer to the question.

Using the rear camber adjustment to increasing negative camber makes the rear toe out more. At least that has been my experience.
