Cush,

As M1100 said, the effect you are talking about is the effect of caster. The caster makes the wheels change camber when turned. King pin inclination does the opposite. large angle between king pin (line between upper & lower ball joint centres) and the vertical will give positive camber to the outside wheel in a corner.

The idea of running 1.5° camber with 3.5° castor is when you are turning-in you will end up with 4 to 5° camber.
