recently replace my steering rack cuz it was leaking and got a new alignment with the new one. my front alignment settings are good but my rear camber is totally out of wack. the left rear is set to -.3 and the right rear is -1.2?! WTF! i asked the guy when he gave me my papers that showed what the alignment was set at wtf was up with that and he said the rear was non adjustabe for camber or maybe just a little bit. so i called the dealer to verify and they said the rear was non adjustable and i asked what wld make the rear almost a full degree off? they said something was probably bent but the vehicle has never been in an accident so they something like curbing it or hitting a pot hole and i said ive never done either. they said itd cost me 1 hour of diag time which is like $100 bucks so i said f*** that. im wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has had their rear alignment off by this much? any suggestions?

Find a new alignment shop, and never go to that dealership again. The rear has camber and toe adjustability, just like the front.

After i lowered mine you could really see the wheels/tires leaning.I had my rear aligned to factory specs.

IRS camber adjusted via the upper control arm eccentric bolt at the knuckle. IRS toe adjusted via the toe link bars.

Find a shop that specializes in alignment and custom suspension work and not just the tire shop attached to the supermarket.

It's possible they didn't even look and just assumed it had a solid axle like any Mustang.
