I also think that the OP has worn components at the rear suspension.
I had the same wear, and the outcome was that one ball joint and one suspension arm were worn (had play at the joint)
After replacement, the camber was better (from -2.7 to -2.2), but -2.2 was the minimum we could dial at the maximum of the adjustement.

About the VAC Motorsports video, did someone had success testing using their method?
I tried without success. I made a jig to adapt to my floor jack, and tried many times, with more or less leverage on the knuckle, I then tried to place my jig under the spring nipple, tried on both wheels etc.

I was never able to feel any loose at the wheel.
I then released the air from the rear springs, and only then I could feel some play in the susp. arms and bal joints.

So, anyone had success with the VAC method?
