If you have to buy aftermatket parts or modify the existing bolts and or holes, then it is not adjustable.
anything can be broken/modified to do whatever you want with it.

Toe can cause a pull on roads with excessive road crown.
Also, a lot of the time, the pull can be imagined since the customer isn't used to a properly aligned vehicle and expects it to behave like it did before the repairs were made. In the 15 years I spent working on cars and doing alignments, that was the usual cause for post alignment complaints.



Aftermarket parts like ball joint sleeves for every F150? Or adjustable camber kits for the rear of about every FWD car? Either a cammed strut bolt, or a control arm replacement. How about shimming the A-arms on a 68 Chevelle.

It's all adjustable. Some of the factory stuff is just stupid. Why a Stratus doesn't come with the adjustable link in the back instead of a solid one I don't know.
