Default Rear Camber Problem

I went to get an alignment and was told that my rear tire was about 4 degrees off and they wouldnt be able to align it as it was already maxed out. The technician, looked at it twice and could not find anything that stood out to be wrong. As far as i know, the car has clear title so i assume it has never been in an accident and i have had the car for about 6 months. I cant remember if the camber was that bad when i bought the car.

Anyways, is there anything wrong with these cars that typically go wrong that would cause the camber to be that bad. Bad spindle, struts, etc.? Just want to see if there is anything simple that i can check before i have to shell out the big bucks and send it to an autobody shop.

Thanks

i just read somewhere last week that someone had a similar problem and the guy doing the work for the s2k owner didnt realize that there are two adjustement points for the rear camber/toe settings (a forward and rear adjustment) because the shop manual didnt really talk about one or the other adjustment. They took the car back and adjustment was then able to be made... i'm trying to find it but i cant seem to locate it, if i do i'll post the html for ya...

Thanks, I never thought of those possibilities. I'll try to check both of those today or tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
