White line rear bump steer bushing

I'm trying to get a -1 camber and 0 toe for the rear wheels, but the guy who is aligning my wheels said he needed to compensate because the toe and the camber is fighting each other so he got it as close as possible to my setting with the OEM bushings.

My question is, after installing the bump steer kit, how much camber and toe play can I have after the install?

I need to know before I decide whether I need the bushing or buy Agency Power or Nagisa rear control arm.

.2 total is a lot...lol. I would just shoot for more camber, -1.5, and see if toe can zero out. Then run negative 2.3-2.5 up front to keep the car balanced..

I know. I need new tires too. That's why I wanna know if I can spend $60 for bushing to correct my problem or buy a full control arm so I can absolutely control the rear alignment.

I was actually looking at the old set up. Here the current one.

My question is the same though. How much play do I have with the bushing or I should just buy the control arms?

That alignment sucks. You have .5* difference in camber in the rear, and it's full adjustable. Find another shop. Preferably a performance place..

^+1 Find a new shop who actually gives a s**t about your alignment bc unless you car has been in a serious wreck that is simply the result of a laziness.

Also, why is your caster so mismatched? Seems a little odd IMO as well as mine always matched so nicely...

Camber could be slightly off because toe doesn't match. Caster doesn't match on my car either; about .5* difference.

When I do an alignment camber is set and then toe is adjusted after the fact. They will both change slightly so you do have to go back and forth a few times which is why it can be a PITA.

And my car has always had caster almost identical side to side. Things like rake can affect that so and when you corner balance the ride height on either side can be a little different but even so mine has always been extremely close.
