Recently, I noticed extreme "cupping" on the inside edge of my front tires. I took it to the dealer to check alignment. My camber was way off. They had to adjust my front sub-frame to get me back to specs. Why did this happen?

There are supposedly no camber adjustments....if it was the front springs installation that put it out of alignment...why the need to adjust the subframe?
