Default Negative Camber on both front tires

Hello,
I have a 2001 Dodge Durango, and I seem to have a negative camber issue with both of my front tires... I would like to know if there is a way for me to execute this adjustment at home? Is it the same procedure as a wheel alignment?

I would check the upper ball joints for wear first. If these are loose, it could cause negative camber. On my 2003 I have replaced both upper ball joint. From the factory, they are rivited in. You just grind off the rivits and the new ones have bolts for replacement.

The suspension is different between 4wd and 2wd models, so that information would help. I'm not sure how different the front suspension is between 99 and 01, but on my 99 the upper control arms mounting bolts go into slots that allow you to adjust the camber angle.
