So as the title states, I got a new set of struts on the car and I noticed an exccessive amount of camber at the rear wheels. Before going ahead and getting camber bolts to correct the issue, what might've caused this in the first place?

I know it's been a while but I haven't had time.
Turns out I have -3.4deg of camber on each of the rear wheels. Proper toe alignment was done both front and rear. Alignment technician suggested I complain to the strut seller after unbolting wheels and trying to straighten it to no avail. He tried two methods and neither worked. He said the camber is too negative for it to be worth installing camber bolts since it would still remain out of spec (1 degree fix would still be missing 1 degree of camber for proper alignment) Complained to who sold me the struts currently on the car; it was an ebay purchase so we'll see how it goes. Guess I had a bad batch or the wrong part. EDIT: So I think the Ingalls will do what I need. http://www.iapdirect.com/pictures/81250-81290.pdf Is it safe to run 2 bolts (thinking about future lowering) on each side?
