alignment issue

hey folks,
so i recently replaced my tie rod ends ( outer ), in my drive and today i went down to get me an alignment. well they were able to do the toe in/out, but they said they were unable to adjust the camber. okay so I'm not surprised as i knew the stock set up wasn't adjustable. but here's the thing, the said that my camber is off, by nearly 1 degree.
is anyone surprised by this as I am or is this common.
i have a 94 2wd f150

Does it look like this /-\ ? If so, your front springs are sagging from age. You can fix this by installing new springs, leveling kit, or alignment bushing.

did they give you a print out of the alignment they performed? 1 degree off will wear tires slightly but they should have offered to install the cam ecentrics to make it adjustable

They should be able to adjust the camber or atleast point out the parts that may need replaced.
