850R Alignment Issues

Replaced left front LCA and outer tie rods. I took the car to alignment shop. Two problems were found.

1. I could not get right LCA on. Car was purchased in May with broken right front wheel. The toe was reset and wheel replaced. The back mounting tab on the subframe shows some damage and subframe is not perfect in that location. I ended up having lower ball joint injected so now no play. The caster is now off on the side by 1 degree. Should I either replace sub frame, have subframe pulled by body shop, or live with slight difference in caster?

2. The next problem and more important as it will increase tire wear was the left rear. It is -1.75 camber while right was -1. There is no adjustment for rear camber. The tech could not find anything wrong with either the delta links or rear trailing arm bushings, but he was not that experienced. Neither one of us could find a bend or damage to left rear suspension. The only parts left to replace would be the left suspension assembly or the spindle. Any one ever encounter such a problem? Any ideas? Thank you.
