    I have over the past month been having an alignment issue. It seems to pull with the crown of the road so right lane is a pull to the right and the left lane is a pull to the left. I walked out from work yesterday and I was parked in a different spot than normal. This gave me a head on view of my truck. From head on there is a visible amount of positive camber, but I need to take a level to it and make sure my eyes aren't playing trick on me. When I went in for an alignment I never received a print out so I really am unsure on what I have. I am already bashing myself for not looking into this earlier.

    My second part of the question to figuring out my alignment has to do with my cam tabs. I got under the truck to install my skid plates and track down my issue. I noticed right away that the front passenger cam tab was bent with the cam plate almost on top of it (See pictures attached for better detail). All the other cam tabs were fine. After noticing that I also realized that 3 of the 4 alignment cams were at a 1 O'Clock orientation and the passenger front(the bent one) was at a 6 O'clock orientation. Now alignments aren't my strong point, but that doesn't sound right at all to me.

    TL;DR Noticeable front positive camber, bent cam tab, and passenger front cam bolt being off equals alignment issues correct?

    (First two are passenger and the last two are driver)
