Default Driver Side Camber Too Far Out...Need Advice

Hello fellow MF'ers. I just got back into the mustang game with my "new" used 94 Mustang GT. I bought the car off of a younger person and since I've had some time to look it over really carefully I have realized that it's had a few accidents in it's life. My main thing that I'm trying to get help with right now is figuring out why the car has 3* negative camber on the driver side while the passenger side is only 1* negative. The driver side appears to have an aftermarket fender so I am certain there was an impact on the drivers side. Any thoughts on what to look at or where to start on trying to figure out this extreme negative camber would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Fellas!

Let me know if you want more info...

well the first trick is to take the wheels off and look for obvious damage, then compare the positions of the two strut mounts to each other, and then if everything looks right you get a camber bolt (just a smaller bolt) and put it in the top shock mount to open up some adjustment.

and pictures, post the pictures

^ Thanks for the info dude. I will get pics up soon. Actually it has some smaller bolts up top maybe I will pull those and try some stock ones.

could be the problem, loosen the tops and bottoms and see if you can't adjust them the desired direction
