Rear left can't be aligned

I had an alignment done a few weeks ago to get the camber back towards 1-1.5 for tire wear reasons, and the front was all good, same with the passenger side rear. However on the driver side rear, the guy at the shop told me that they tried, but they can't get it into spec. He basically said that when he reduces the camber, the toe must increase, as "something must be bent back there I'm not sure." So, the camber is at 1.3 and the toe is way out of spec at 1 degree (should be .15). Anyone have any idea what could be bent or what needs to be replaced?
Could this be why the car vibrates between 60-80 even after alignment and balancing?

I would at least get the toe into spec or you'll tear through tires. Probably a bent rear camber arm, they are super cheap if you buy used OEM. If you're lowered you might as well order aftermarket for more adjustment though.

OR aftermarket -

If you're lowered you'll also need the rear SPC toe bolts w/ elongated slots, won't be able to get camber & toe correct without it in most cases. If you do have the new arms & bolts (w/ the elongated slots) they should be able to get it corrected, even if the arm is bent since it can still be adjusted, unless it's a severe issue. G/L

Ohhhh okay so i need the bolts in addition to the arms? That would make more sense because i don't remember ever hitting a pothole or anything strong enough to bend a suspension component. Thanks
