Does the orientation of the upper trunnion make a difference?  I seem 
to remember that flipping the trunnion would add / remove camber.  If 
so, maybe one side has it in opposite of the other one.

To make the non-adjustable suspension adjustable, we typically 
shorten the upper A-arms, either by carefully sectioning them or by 
cutting off the inner ends and welding a threaded tube to them so we 
can attach a heim joint to the end.  This actually gives adjustability.

Like the others said, something's pretty dramatically wrong with a 
2.5 degree difference side to side.

Even though stock is 2 degrees positive camber, I'm sure I'd be 
happier with 0 degrees or maybe a touch of negative camber.
