rear camber problems and awd what to do V70-XC70

98 v 70r awd I crashed it last winter into or rather onto an icy curb which looked like a soft snow bank not ...main damage was on the pasenger side both wheels bent on the inside but was still driveable ...months later i finally got new wheels, tires and front struts (bilstiens their great) and was at the shop to do a 4wheel alignment 3 wheels where fine but the rear pasenger side had a camber problem i think it was a -.44 what ever that means ..the tech explained that the top of the wheel tilted in about an inch (like race cars) and he told me that there was no adjustments for that ...so what do i do ??? he said take it to a frame shop ....man did i do that much damage ??? it drives fine and straight ... what can i do ???

It's your car so it's up to you. If the rear camber is off, you'll wear out tires unevenly and sooner than normal and if that bothers you, you'll need to deal with it. If there are bent parts, the parts need to be replaced but if it's more structural, then yes...a frame shop can fix that.
