cant get desired camber?
I went in for an alignment yesterday with a target of -1.5 camber in the rear. the shop that did the alignment for me told me that they couldn't get my right rear side to come in enough, that the closest they could get was -1.9. would this be caused from having worn out camber bolts?

Camber, Toe and ride height can conspire to sabotage your desired spec. Lowered cars usually achieve more negative camber. Also decoupling your toe and camber adjustments by adding adjustable toe arms can really help fine tune your alignment.
If your car is stock with correct toe settings and ride height, you should be able to achieve -1.5* of camber. I would inspect for frozen cam bolts. Ask the tech if the control arm and toe link cam bolts move freely.

I had a "too much camber" issue and ended up being a bent knuckle. Check to make sure the top knuckle arm, where the UBJ bolts in, is at 90 degrees. Also check where the LBJ bolts in matches the "good" side's clearances.

Check the LCA cam bolt. If you are looking to minimize rear camber, the cam bolt should be installed with the bolt head at 9 o'clock (right side, rear view). This pulls the lower control arm toward the chassis and minimizes negative camber. Confirm this first.
