Frank,
 
Is that the same side you had problems fitting the fender?

Frank, If you can see the negative camber by just eyeballing it you
probably 
have at least 1 1/2 degrees negative camber. If shock and lower control
arm 
look good it's probably a bent spindle. I think if it was the frame you 
would have noticed it when everything was apart.
