No, I'm really not confusing caster and camber. Most suspension
parameters have more than one effect. Caster moves the contact patch
behind the steering axis of rotation, and so it exerts a counter force
to steering input that tends to drag the wheel straight. But caster
also moves the contact patch to the side of the axis of tire rotation
during steering input, imparting some camber effect. Likewise Camber
moves the contact patch to one side or the other of the tire, but
extreme positive camber acts like "negative" caster, pulling the wheel
to the inside of a turn.
