Camber/Toe..which arm is which??

Ok, I have a issue here with trying to figure out which arm is for toe and which arm is for camber on the rear since both affect both camber and toe. I have argued with the aligment guy that the arm that contains the cradle that holds the rear spring is the adjustment for camber since it is set at 90 degrees to the actual movement of camber. Also, when you order a camber and toe correction setup from Kinetix, they send you two arms, now this is not possible because if you change both the correction arms, you would be eliminating the cradle that holds the rear spring. So, which is it? Which arm is actually called the "camber arm"? I am more inclined to think its the farthest back one that holds the spring. I just ordered a camber arm because the spc exentric bolts did not get it completelly into specs but if I am correct in my thoughts here, there is no way this arm can go where i think it goes without somehow removing the rear spring holder.

As you said, this multi-beam sus is very complex and both arms alter the other
variables when you adjust.

The arm that is on the very bottom of the control arm is your camber rod.

..and as you noticed, the rear spring cradle can be adjusted in/out too but
I don't think aligmentshops touch that unless you were in an accident
and the pivot point got altered and causing the whole side of the rear sus
to bind.
