Default Caster camber.

Cant get my addled brain round this ongoing caster thing. Surely the only way to increase caster is to move the top pivot point back. Nothing that is done between top and bottom pivot will change caster. These mushroom offset gadgets at best could only be used as a camber adjuster which surely can be done off the top balljoint. Would it not be best to have adjustment on all three corners of the top wishbone ie rose joints on the chassis end of the wishbone and retain the ball joint on the other end. That would give all that was needed for tipping back the kingpin axis and altering camber/ caster. Or have i got this very wrong?
