Default Camber Maxed Out

I've been doing alignment every 6000-8000 miles. During my last alignment, the people doing the alignment said the camber was maxed out. This was caused by the excessive potholes due to the rain experienced lately. Since I cannot avoid the road conditions, what happens the next time I do alignment if the camber is already maxed out? Is there something preventive I can do other than avoiding potholes to prevent uneven wear on tires?

Seems like an excessive number of alignments.

Anyway if it is not possible to get the alignment correct with the amount of adjustment left it is time to start replacing bent or worn out parts.

Oh and start swerving those pot holes and stop bumping into curbs. Should be able to go 100k miles without an alignment if you are not hitting things.

How low is the car and how much camber are you purposely running?

Lifetime alignments are awesome. You should do an alignment every time you rotate your tires, which should be every 6-8k miles, so it's not really excessive if you have free alignments for life.

I'm assuming the camber adjustment is maxed out positively, not negatively? Also, year and model and mods would be helpful to know.
