Default can you adjust camber on a 94 accord LX?

I went to get an alignment today and the guy adjusted everything but the "camber". It read 1.60 degrees on the left and the right. I bought the car second hand, so I guess it might've been in an accident.

Anyone have any ideas of how to get the camber back into spec, or should i just leave it as is? The recommended caster is 2.00 so it's off by some.

its 100% stock. The car was in a little accident I guess..and that's how the camber got so jacked.

yeah...my camber is great...

but the caster is the one that is out of spec.

so im wondering if i buy the aftermarket "camber/caster" adjustable kits, if this would correct the caster.

I just got an alignment yesterday on my 94 accord and asked the tech about caster. He said as long as the right and left are really close in reading, that the actual numbers don't matter much.

I don't know if the Ingalls kits actually adjust the caster at all. anyone confirm?
