what i am scared of is that they had forgotten to tighten the bolt, and as a result of me driving, something is now actually bent.....

what would be a correct camber adjustment for rear anyways? i really dont want to keep chewing the hell out of my tires..they arent cheap..

Depends on your purpose. Just for street and only worried about tire life. You would want to be around -1.5. Obviously this has an effect on handling but you can't have both. I would shoot for -1.5 camber and close as you can get to 0 toe if your goal is to preserve your tires. Toe is worse than camber when you have a misaligned car. Toe angle will eat a brand new set of tires up in a few months time.

Stock specs for rear:

Camber
-2.16 to -1.17

Toe
.09 to .21
