The Perrin PSRS does not adjust camber, it adjusts castor.
Wiki: Positive caster angle
The pivot points of the steering are angled such that a line drawn through them intersects the road surface slightly ahead of the contact point of the wheel. The purpose of this is to provide a degree of self-centering for the steering - the wheel casters around so as to trail behind the axis of steering. This makes a car easier to drive and improves its directional stability (reducing its tendency to wander). Excessive caster angle will make the steering heavier and less responsive, although, in racing, large caster angles are used to improve camber gain in cornering. Caster angles over 10 degrees with radial tires are common. Power steering is usually necessary to overcome the jacking effect from the high caster angle.
Your going to want to read my thread. LCA bolt stuck again
I would have changed all the bushings in the front at one time, if I knew this was going to happen again. Including the PSRS with the + castor.
