Ok, the cause has been found.
The front RH subframe is twisted, warped so it "pushes"
the wishbone outwards and this explains the camber.

Now the entire front suspension will have to be dismantled
so the subframe can be "pressurized" back to its original
shape, as much as this is possible.

One question: Before I do what the Moss catalogue says
to dismantle the front suspension (page 46), don't I have
to disconnect the steering rods from the backplates?
Can the wishbones hang vertically with the steering rods
in place? Sounds impossible to me.

Thanks to all the people who offered their thoughts.
