Question Positive Camber

Back in the winter I bumped a curb with my rear passenger tire. The bolt that holds the control arm to my car popped out, which I rebored and repaired along with the hub assembly. Recently I took the car in to get it aligned seeing it looked to have positive camber and wasn't handling quite right. Currently I have a -.9 rear driver and +.7 rear passenger...

After every mechanic at the shop looked at it, along with me, we could not find a single bend or flaw in the rear yet the camber was adjusted all the way out. The only idea that the mechanic at the shop had was that it was something with the spindle.

Car drives straight as an arrow, no vibrations/wobble.

Any ideas?

even the slightest little bend that cant be seen by eye can mess up the alignment. IF the force pulled that bolt out it could be possible it stressed other bolts.

I would check every bolt down there. Even the ones that connect into the frame, it might not have bent the bolts, but could have pulled the frame out or in where ever the bolts bolt into the frame at.

Positive camber is not good especially with that big of change. Tire wear will be bad without a proper alignment.
