I used MOOG on mine and set them at 1 degree negative camber. How bad are they out? If you go to far you will bind the right front shaft where it meets the intermediate shaft and destroy the bushing that connects them.

It looks like i jumped and its not to bad but it is wearing out the insid of the tires bad. The tires need to have positive camber and not negative though.

0 to 1 degree is fine. My tires used to do the same thing before I used the adjustable joints. That and rotating the tires regularly has solved my tire wear issue. But like I said if you have to bring the bottom of the right side in a lot, it will pinch the two axle shafts together too much.
