Default Alignment Issues

I took my in to get an alignment. Two different techs cannot get the right rear into spec. The camber adjustment is maxed out and still needs more. The advice was get adjustable ball joints and adjustable toe arms. I'm wondering is something is bent and if so how do I figure out what to replace? What do you guys suggest as my best course of action? Do I just buy the adjustable parts and move on. Or...?

Shortly after I purchased the car I had an alignment done when I noticed the right rear was wearing on the inside edge. That shop told me the toe was off and also mentioned that they couldn't get the camber quite to spec but didn't seem to be concerned. Both rear tire have now worn unevenly from the center to the outside.

Wanted to get this fixed before I put new rubber on and head to the Boston Mountains.

80K miles. I've had it for 23k. This is my daily driver. I have no plans to track the car.

I just discovered the same issue on my car (camber limited to max-negative of -1.5 on RR) and will be having the suspension disassembled and measured by a S2000-specialist shop soon. Both I and the shop suspect a bent knuckle but we won't be sure until it actually gets measured.

Don't band-aid this with aftermarket parts. Fix the bent part.
