While I have been messing with tyres and wheels I noticed the driver side wheel is at an odd angle. visibly way too much camber. quick measurement shows 2.8 deg neg.
I have adjustable arms and I set it at 1.2 deg both sides a couple of years back.
I cannot see any obvious faults and ride height is where I set it so I adjusted camber back to original.
What would cause camber to change like this?

Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
it will vary if you roll the car backwards then measure. always roll forward to let it set then measure.
