How to adjust front and rear wheel camber

I was told by my Ford Dealer that I have -2 degrees of camber on my right rear wheel, and -.8 degrees on the right front.  And since the front camber requires  special "front camber adjuster parts", the cost would be $291.70 + tax for the front camber, plus more for the rear camber adjustment.   I am pretty sure that I can measure  much the same thing with a level held vertically across the 18.3" rim.  When I do on the right rear wheel, I get 5/8" inward offset on the top of the rim, which would be a 1.96 degree negative camber on the right rear, while the car is sitting inside my garage which I assume is pretty flat.   Being that easy to measure I am wondering if I couldn't just do the rear myself, by rotating the lower inner bushing, but I have no idea what to do on the front, or if I should bother.  Any experience in this area would be welcome.  Attached is the dealer's data chart, with my measurement data added.  I can't measure toe, which from my experience is much more important than camber for tire wear and vehicle drag.
