Alignment issue

Well today I ended up giving the 940 wagon an alignment since it seemed to angle towards the right. It turned out that the toe was a bit off on the right hand side and that was adjusted. However the camber is showing at -0.3 on both sides which is just outside the -0.2 to 0.8 scale.

I asked the folks afterwards and was told that the automated instructions informed them to 'replace rod' although no specifics were given. I'm thinking that maybe it's a tie rod end that needs to be replaced but was told that it was something that needs to be adjusted when doing an alignment. They just didn't know exactly what it was.

Any help, insights and anything else would be appreciated. I have a pretty good inclination to think that the toe will need to be adjusted again in a few thousand miles if I don't do anything about the camber being out of spec.

Alignment issue

This might be the time to take to someone else (dealer?). Camber is adjustable as far as I know. I was surprised to find recently that what some shops consider "alignment" is just toe in adjustment.
