Default Camber adjustment affects toe....

From what I've researched, I think adding negative camber on the front causes toe-out. Vice versa being adding positive camber adds toe-in. Is this correct?

I ask because I hit some nasty rutted road that left my steering wheel at ~5-10 degrees to the left. So something got jacked up. The right front took the brunt of it and I'm assuming the impacts caused it to toe out. Everything still feels solid, just the steering wheel is off-center now.

In taking off the wheel, the tie-rod looked okay, not obviously bent at least. I didn't look to see if the eccentric bolts to adjust camber or caster had moved. I need to check that next. Does adjusting the caster affect toe? If so, in what directions?

Because the steering wheel is now to the left, and the right front took the hit, I'm assuming the right front has toe-out now. Looking at both front wheels from head-on, it does appear there is toe-out. However, the camber did not look completey out of wack.

Anyways, I figure either something bent (though the tie-rod looks okay at the spindle at least), or the camber/caster got knocked out causing the toe-out.
