Right my near side front wheel has -2 degrees off camber but the other side doesnt, I had the lower arms, p bushes and ball joints replaced and there the right ones and size just abit confused why one side has more camber than the other is the due to top mounts gone?

You could undo the top shock absorber nut and see if the hole has gone oval

on the estate it was wearing hard on the inside of the N/S/F tyre. upon removing the shocks to lower it the top mount bearing was mashed and crushed down on 1 side. Im not 100% but this could of been responsable for tge un even wear i.e camber??? didnt check for camber before but dosnt have any excessive camber now.
so could well be. its only half hour job to wip it out and hace a look? ![[Image: DSC_0190-Copy_zpsf093f84d.jpg]](http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/167gti8/media/DSC_0190-Copy_zpsf093f84d.jpg.html) Member of 99% warning or your nothing club!
