Can tweak camber but this messes up toe

Ok a lot of you will want to shoot me after my zero camber post , but my camber CAN be adjusted to -1 32 degrees but doing this totally throws my toe out of spec , so I settled for -2 10 degrees camber which kept the toe in spec….( camber and toe eccentric washers were both loosened at once, and when adjusting the camber bolt I could see on the computer display that toe changed too). So have I got bent parts? Or damaged bushings, as the alignment guy could only guess(he suggested I replace all bushings)

worn bushings tend to keep the x out of alignment.

Ok will do so but I am not too sure the rear left with high camber will go far...looking at getting the same size alloys all way round rather than staggered so I can at least rotate them and maximize wear...gonna post a new thread to see if this is possible to go from 19" to a smaller rim
