Yes. Rear also adjustable for camber and toe.

As previous posters stated, it is adjustable.

Just thought I'd add that many tyre places will claim it isn't - ie they either don't know (as many cars aren't) or they don't wish to do the work and give you back the car with the camber left as it is.

The camber/castor is adjusted by eccentric bolts on the lower A-arm. Toe will change if you change the camber (as will caster) and this is why quick/cheap tyre stores hate doing it... they need to repeat the steps a few times to get all of them correct. If you be nice and explain to them you are only willing to have the 4 wheel alignment done if they do it properly (meaning you'll drive the new tyres with no alignment to a suspension store where they will), then you often find they'll take the time to do it.

Find a place that actually knows how to do a wheel alignment properly.
Also have a clear idea what you intend to do with the car and ask for an appropriate wheel alignment.

Lots of info here, do a search for recommendations and settings.
