2004 Hyundai sonata rear strut camber adjustment?

My wife has a 2004 hyundai sonata tat was in a light T-bone on the rear wheel several years ago. I replaced the lower control arm ball joint and bushing assembly on both sides. The side that was hit required me to cut the bushing bolt out because it was bent in the bushing. The rear tire on that side is visibly off camber and it will continue to eat the tire on the inside. When I look at the diagram for the rear suspention, I see what looks like a camber adjustment bolt in the diagram and I want to know if this is the camber adjustment. The car was repaired at a shop before I met my current wife and there is no body mounting issue and the strut was replaced. I'm no body mechanic but there must be a camber adjustment for the rear strut assembly, but I can't find squat on my web searches. Any input on this would be great so I can at least break the rusted bolt parts loose before I take it in for an alignment. I replaced both rear lower control arm ball joint and bushing assemblies, along with a rear sway bar control link on the accident side due to getting it back on the road for my step daughter. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Update 2:

My link was bad, I'll try it again (http://www.wholesalehyundaiparts.com/images/parts/...

Update 3:

This car has 230K miles on it and the issue was over 2 years ago, causing the lower control arm to slowly crack at the ball joint. The issue only met my eyes when the car was towed back into the driveway for my inspection.

    I don't recall there being any rear camber adjustments on you vehicle. You have a bent strut, bent rear knuckle, or a bent control arm.
