The camber on my car is terrible on the driver side rear wheel. It looks like its somewhere around +3*, yes the wheel looks like \_\ . from the rear of the car.

What caused it, a curb, cooper cobras SUCK in the rain. I went under the car with a flashlight and couldnt find anything obviously bent or out of alignment other than my wheel. Anywhere i should start to look first at replacing other than my hub/wheelbearing since im sure the bearing wont last too much longer.

Alignment of your wheel in such a way should only be performed by a professional while your car is hooked up to the alignment machine. Don't try to do anything yourself, the human eye/touch can't get it close enough without the machine. The right shop can have it fixed in about half an hour, provided your schedule times are kept. By yourself, you'd struggle for hours.

Also, wrong forum. Try the suspension forum next time.

I'd take off the wheel and see what is bent. Should be a little easier to see in the daylight too.
