I had to get out my ASE A4 study book for this one.

On the front, your cross caster should be giving you a slight pull to the left while your cross camber should be pushing you right. The slightly higher camber on the right is pretty normal in manufacturer specs for LHD cars, since it will keep you going straight on a road crowned to the right. On the rear, the cross caster is wanting to push the rear of the car to the left. All the numbers are within spec, but your front and rear caster are conspiring to give you a pull. Also, two degrees negative camber seems like a lot to me unless you drive like a thrill seeking speed demon (IOW like me). I don't know how much adjustability is in the 126 rear suspension, so your tech may have to try to balance it out at the front.
