Default Camber kit. Help needed.

Ok so it snowed last week where I live. As I was pulling into the school parking lot my car began to slide it had hit some black ice. Long story short my car ended up slamming into a curb in the parking lot. So ya the only wheel that actually hit the curb was the rear left wheel. It was complety cracked and the car wasnt driveable and had to be towed to the dealer to be fixed. So they ended up replacing the knuckle assembly, control arm , wheel and tire, and then the hub assembly. They also did an alignment a very crappy one. They charged me 2400 for all this on top of it. Then at the bottom of this 2400$ bill they left a little note, rear cross camber out // drives fine // no repairs can be made to remedy this concern.
Now my question is won't a rear camber kit fix this? They say its not fixable but my guess was they said that is because they dont sell camber kits. But im not sure so im asking the H-T pros.


Any ideas???????
THANX

If they replaced all the components that were damaged and or bent, then, YES a set of rear upper control arms(camer kit) should repair what happened. Did they replace the left side upper control arm where the wheel was, If they replaced all the needed components then the alignment should be within specs unless they,
1-Missed something, wich can be easy to do with suspension stuff.
2-The vehicle is already lowered and the camber was off before the accident.
Either way good luck, sounds like something else was damaged and they didn't notice it...
Did they check the TRAILING ARM....?

They checked rear knuckle assembly, hub and bearing, trailing arm, and upper control arm as needed.

They replaced the rear knuckle, upper control arm, trailing arm, nut spindle, and the bearing assembly.
