need to move the camber 1/2 degree positive on one side only. i know i will get more toe out with that wheel after the adjustment. can i adjust the toe just in that wheel to get the right toe in back with out touching the other wheel ?
 
Do the camber change, then drive the car and see if the steering wheel is still centered as the car drives down a flat roadway. THEN tweak the toe-in total, but probably biasing it toward the side the camber was changed on.

Why the need for the camber change? Just curious.

Personally, I can't see that such a small change in camber can affect toe-in to a great degree, if at all. Just from what little I understand about those inter-relationships.

Take care,

Is toe perfect now, or off a bit. Moving the eccentrics will move toe, but how much? And will it move it wrong way or the right way? Is steering wheel centered now or off a bit?

Moving toe on one wheel can make the steering wheel not straight. That's why both sides are adjustable.

really 3/4 degrees to match the other side. drivers side is 0.3 negative and pass side is 1.2 negative like to move the pass to 0.5 negative

toe is perfect now 3/32 toe in.
 
new at this. thinking adjust the pass side for perfect toe then if the wheel is off adjust both evenly in opposite directions.
 
Why negative camber? Why not " 0 "?

Measured with you (or appropriate weight) in the driver's seat? Which can be one reason the lh camber can be different from the rh camber. Termed "cross-car camber".

Might check out the Chrysler MasterTech course on front end alignment, circa the middle 1960s or so.
