Default Rear camber adjustment

Wondering. Is there only one rear camber adjustment ? Im seeing a difference on each side.. one positive and the other negative
what would cause this and how is it corrected?

There is one for each side, an eccentric cam at the inner end of the strut rods, attached to a bracket on the bottom of the rear end.

Causes? Bad bushings, bad adjustment, bent strut rods, bad stub axles, missing stub axle retaining clips, bad u-joints. There's probably more...

More details would help.

if strut rods are bent, replace or use press to straighten, back in the day the alignment guys took a big hammer and hit them, bending them, because they were to lazy to do it right..most common for your car would be bad bushing in strut rod, either end, or adj needed.
