E90 negative camber

I have alot of negative camber in the rear driver side only and I called a euro shop near me and they said its probably a collapsed bushing and there is no adjustable camber options. Could this be true? What are the other possibilities?

BTW I have been getting high vibrations at high speeds of 90+ mph, could this be related or is it a whole different thing?

Thanks.

It's probably not a collapsed bushing. Jack it up and start pushing with a pry bar to see if it's loose.

Yes the camber is adjustable. It's probably not a trivial job after 15 years of midwest rust.

Alignment usually doesn't move unless something happens (curb?)

chassis vibration at 90mph can be caused by about 100 different things, 150 things on a 4wd, a few of which may be related.

I've never hit a curb but I'm not 100% sure about the previous owner. I will jack the car up when I get some time off of work but when I took a glance at the bushings without Jacking the car up it didn't look like none were leaking but ill make sure. I also have a appointment for an alignment at a shop near me next week so we'll see how that goes.

curb or anything that could have been hit. I've seen alignments get knocked out at 2 mph just rubbing against a curb. I've knocked out my alignment and bent a droplink from a pothole.
Only way to truly know is get under the car and see whats out, make sure nothing is bent, blown or broken
