    Rear camber problem

    Hello everyone and thank you ahead of time for you time and efforts!

    THE PROBLEM:
    Camber is out in the rear on both sides.

    THE STORY:
    In the rear, after replacing both upper control arms, integral links, and lower ball joints, the camber is still negative on both sides. (On one side it's -3.0).

    Note: On the upper control arm the little metal bead, up against which the eccentric bolt pushes to adjust, is broken a little, but doesn't change the result that much.

    THE QUESTION:
    What could be the problem? The only thing I can think of now is the hubs or the springs or both. Any other ideas? Replacing wheel carrier with hub?

    THE PATIENT:
