Right.
After an incident with a kerb on Sunday morning, I booked my car in at Pedders yesterday for replacement of the lower control arm (left hand rear) and a 4 wheel alignment.
It's all fixed now, and only needs a wheel bearing now to be back to normal.

I was, however, a little bit puzzled as to the camber on the rear.
The right hand wheel is currently at 1.39 degrees negative (happened after lowering it, looks good)
But the left hand is 0.14 degrees negative. Before the incident, both wheels were around the same.

I phoned Pedders as soon as I got back to work, and he said its "within factory tolerances".
Is this true? Over 1.2 degrees out each side, I should definitely think not.

Can anyone help me out here?

it''s close but seems like their installation, whats the rear toe like?

the rear toe adjustment also effects the camber a little
