Need advice.
So lets start at the begining. I replaced my LCA's with new poly bushings and took it to work so i could align it. When I adjusted the rear camber, where you're supposed to, it adjusted the toe. Got measurements as close as i could and moved to the front where i encountered the same issue. Each adjustment, whether front or rear would dramatically move toe and very little caster.
The front did respond better to the camber caster adjustment yet still way out. I'll upload pics.

If you have access to an alignment machine, shouldn't you know how alignments work? Every adjustment you change will effect another reading, but you should have started with camber adjusments first, then moved on to toe. The caster will change in accordance with your toe and camber.
Your eccentric bolt is installed incorrectly, so by forcing it to rotate you broke the housing used to measure. Loosen the bolt and rotate it, so that the hole is above and not below (like in your picture).

I started with the rear camber and moved on like you're describing. My hardware being installed incorrectly is a good start on fixing the situation. I didn't take pictures before like I normall do and the car sat since November. Lesson learned

Toe should be the last thing you adjust. I have never aligned a multi-link rear on my own so I cant offer rear advice, generally you need to do camber/caster first and toe last. Make sure your toe isn't too crazy to start with as changing toe can slightly change camber/caster.
