Is the Rear Camber adjustable ?

Had an alignment at the Mini Dealer over a year ago and the rear camber is at -2 degrees. Getting excessive inner should wear and cupping. Was going to have the alignment redone to fix the issue, want to be sure the rear camber is adjustable. I rotate every 5K.

-2° camber is NOT excessive. You want to make sure the TOE is set correctly on both sides. Correct toe setting is MUCH more important than camber.

Of course, whatever the alignment numbers come out to be, you want to make damn sure the numbers are the same on both sides.

Camber at 2 degrees is actually within tolerance for the sport suspension R60

Something else must be out.
