Default rear camber out of spec

hey guys, so for the last 3-4 alignments my right rear camber seems to be out of spec.

now while its on the very edge of being in spec, im guessing its not a problem.

My mechanic friend (mercedes tech) says they normally see this when the spring is starting to sag.

he says it looks like my cars rear camber isn't adjustable.

my car is also at lexus for two collapsed front shocks, they are replacing under warranty.

i guess my question is, since its out of spec would that warrant a warranty claim ???

car is a 2012 75K miles factory everything except for exhaust

Sounds like the spring or shock is letting go, causing it to be lower, in turn causing more camber.
