That is interesting. So, not having adjustment.. does that mean it is not possible for the camber to get out of whack? Or does it mean that if you do get the camber out of whack, there is no fixing it?

The camber and caster are locked, there is nothing to adjust which means it really can't go out of alignment unless you bend something that isn't supposed to bend. At that point the only way to correct the alignment is to replace whatever part you bent.

If you want a non-stock front alignment you need replacement upper control arms. They add considerable weight but give you about 5 degrees camber and 2.0 degrees caster adjustment range.
