Driver side front wheel has more negative chamber. Please help!

Hello! I recently found out my front driver side wheel has more negative chamber than my front passenger side. Car still drives straight but it’s causing uneven tire wear. What would most likely need fixed/ replaced? Please refer to the images attached. No weird rattles/ sounds.

How would the alignment shop adjust camber without camber plates?

A suspension component is likely damaged and needs replacing.

You'll need to inspect it yourself or have a shop do it if you aren't able to.

The components that are easy to change are both upper and lower control arms and the strut/spring. If something else is bent it'll be much more difficult.

I wouldn't arbitrarily change parts without looking though.

Easy to check yourself with wheels at full lock.
There’s no camber adjustment in the stock suspension so while an alignment will tell you how out it is, it won’t fix the issue. I wouldn’t even waist my time or money if it’s confirmed with uneven tire wear.
