Camber measurements are easy. Use a 4-foot level vertically from the floor to the fender at the center of the wheel. Always touching the fender at the top, slide the bottom in or out until the level is plumb. With the level plumb, compare the measurements from the top the wheel to the level versus the bottom of the wheel to the level. If the tire sticks out too much that you can't get the level plumb, tape a block of wood to the level at fender height to stand it off a bit. The only purpose for touching the fender is to keep the top of the level firm so it doesn't move on you while you take your measurements.
I have used Husker's string alignment method many times with great success, but never on a 4-wheel alignment nor to align the back wheels. I guess it should work the same way running the string front to back for a rear alignment.
