Default OK alignment gurus

I finally got rid of my RFTs yesterday and of course had the car aligned. Three wheels were OK and the right rear was out. Tire wear confirmed this. The toe was a -.65 and it should be about +.34. The camber was a -2.30 and the range is -1.67to -0.67. The odd thing is the tech said he could only get the right camber to -1.25 and no lower. He said that was as low as the right side would go. He saw nothing wrong with the suspension. My intent was to have it adjusted to the -0.67 for better tire wear. Any opinions as to what would make it impossible to adjust lower than the -1.25? I know I should be OK where it is, but I am curious if we should look into it more.

someone talked about the camber with alignments not that long ago maybe mid 2009...did you try a search? I know someone had a nice write up with it on the camber settings and all.
