Proper wheel alignment
I had an alignment done at the dealership and they gave me the following print out:

The dealership mentioned that they had trouble adjusting the front passenger’s side wheel. I noticed that the camber is still out of spec according to the print out. Is the camber angle easily adjustable on their end? How will this affect me down the line if I leave it as is?
Thanks!

Right front camber may be the result of worn suspension. Miles on Z? It is not going to fix itself. This will exaggerate tire wear.
One minor problem with dealers is that you seldom get to speak with the mechanic when you pickup your car.

You will have to have a mechanic look at:
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play.
4. Check ball joint axial end play of compression rod, upper link, and steering knuckle
5. Check shock absorber operation.
6. Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.
Any of the above could be warn.

at 52k miles (and your environmental conditions where you drive) it very well can be your bushings torn causing the horrible camber up front..check your translink and compression arm bushing...
read that thread over and over and print it out and read it while you have a flashlight looking at the parts to ensure you make sense of it all.
have fun..
