Why is my rear camber off?

I have an essentially stock 88 Vert. I had my alignment checked today, and my rear camber is more than -2° on each side.

I know it can't be adjusted (without aftermarket or otherwise modified parts) - which implies that if it's off, then something else is broken/worn/bent/misadjusted.

I'm pretty sure that my rear shocks are crap; would that be enough? Or are my springs shot, too?

What are the most likely suspects?

Thanks!

I got this one from http://mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm You can adjust the camber out untill you get new shocks.

Springs could be sagging which acts like lowering springs

Replace the upper shock mounts. This is a common problem.
Thanks Robert
