There is no adjustment for camber. Did you replace the ball joints? Some
aftermarket ball joints have the hole for the pin in the wrong position: if
you do not tighten the whole way, you will end up with camber. Apart from
this, you either had a major accident without knowing or the car has always
been like this. I cannot see the suspension tower moving without some
serious trauma - and the cross member would probably reflect that.

Subject: [TR] Front Camber Adjustment - TR3
After a long layup, I finally got my TR3 on the road again and noticed that
the passenger side wheel has about 1/2" of positive camber - which is about
3/4" the wrong way.
I don't see any adjustment to make. Any ideas what happened?
We did have the transmission out several times during the layup - is it
possible that the engine may have bent the suspension tower at some point if
was unsupported at the rear?
No rust to speak of (at all) so I don't think its anything like that, and
all of the suspension bushings are new.
I got no movement on the wheel with the front end jacked up.
