How to adjust rear control arm w124?

The rear lower control are on a w124, how do you adjust it? I need to adjust the camber of the wheel due to curb collision. I thought the bolt of eccentric, but it doesn't seem to be. The collision moved the control arm all the way to the extreme "in" position. Luckily I can see in the dirt where it used to reside.

I've looked and looked, can't seem to figure it out..

There is no rear camber adjustment. There are adjustable upper arms that can change camber but it would be much more sensible to repair the collision damage instead of trying to band-aid the problem.

I'm starting to get the impression that I elongated the bolt holes where the control arm attaches to the subframe

Add to that, the bent FRONT LCA mounts I had to beat back into some working position... Hope it will align(camber) ok.

It was a hard hard hit..

I'm gonna unbolt and semi remove the rear arm in the morning and have a look. This car was 100% accident free WAS
