as far am I'm aware the fount camber adjustment went by 1989. if the car 
has had the fount hub carrier changed they may have put in the non 
adjustable one. did someone have a look to see if the top strut to hub 
bolt has the adjuster cam. it could be that the didn't know where to 
look for that car to find the adjuster.  I cant say about the back 
camber being adjustable but it being -ve and only slight i wouldn't worry.

If you want to fix the camber though and it doesn't have the adjusters 
this is what you need. the first is the front one and the second the back.
