So I got 4 new tires today, and front left camber is -1.7 degrees. It's out of spec.

No camber adjustment in the front. Do any of you guys have any idea what could cause negative camber?

I'm thinking struts, they have 100k on them, but why would there be such a discrepancy between left and right? Right is -.7 degrees and within spec.

Thanks!

You should be able to buy some camber bolts for the control arms to adjust them.

Out of spec camber can be caused by a bent control arm or bent mounting point. The bad strut shouldn't have anything to do with it as long as the spring is still good. Camber is measured while the car is static. A bad strut would just cause undamped oscillations going down the street.
