Default Front spring sag?

I've got a 2001 Durango 5.9 SLT+ 2wd.
I just got an alignment and they brought everything back into spec, except the front passenger side camber. The best the could do with it is -.8 degrees. Spec is .3 degrees. He said it's because the spring is starting to sag, and he didn't think it could be caused by bad bushings or anything else.He did not try to get me to fix it with them. (Firestone.)
What do you think? Will it make any real difference? I only drive about 5 or 6 thousand fairly low speed miles a years, except that I'm about to drive 1200 miles to Pa and another 1200 back.

Is there a adjustable camber bushing made for a 2wd guys?


I would get you a couple of new springs and install em. They aren't very expensive.

But then again, you will just mainly will go through tires faster is all.

I'm not sure how much effect .5 degree would really have. My tires don't seem to be too bad off, but I don't need to do anything to make them worse, either. Maybe I'll look into replacement springs. If nothing else, it'll be a good way to spend an afternoon. I've been looking for an excuse to do my shock, too. I can't see doing the springs, having it that far apart, and NOT doing the shocks. They're the original shocks, with 89,000 miles on them, after all.
