front camber kit vs. bent knuckle/spindle repair

Hey fellas. I took my car to Sears awhile back after hitting a curb and they said I have a bent knuckle/spindle in the left front. Seeking a second opinion I took my CL-s to my mechanic and he said it was a bent strut and he fixed it. About 4 months ago I got a new Falken tire for the left front, and i noticed the other day that the bastard already has severe wear in the inside. Should I have the stock knuckle, spindle repaired, or will a front adjustable camber kit help solve this problem?

Maybe get an alignment first. Then see if the uneven wear is still occurring.
