I replaced the rear upper control arms on my 2017 after a diagnostic showed there was a lot of play, which explained a swaying issue. Well, I swapped them out myself and now the camber is off. The alignment shop said they got it best they could on the rear driver's side, but it needed the upper control arm readjusted and they wanted to charge me for that because they would have to remove it. $130 x 4 hours they said. 
It only took me a half hour to swap it out. The rear passenger side is ok enough.
So, I've figured that I can loosen the control arm bolt on the knuckle and raise it up more, then tighten it down. Well, I raised it all the way up and locked it down. And now it's not sticking out at the top, but now it looks like it's sticking inward more at the top than the passenger side.
Does anyone here have any experience with rear camber? Or is there any guide anyone has to adjust the rear camber? Like, exactly where the wheel assembly should be before the knuckle bolt is locked down?
I was told ride height by the shop, but I did that already. I got it up to ride height on both sides. But they were both off in either direction.
Thanks!
