Are you sure everything is install correctly? A full two degrees difference is bizarre.

just bc the title says its 100% clean and accident free does not mean that it actually is.

plenty of cars have a "perfect carfax" when in reality they have been in accidents, and been fixed, and never gone through insurance.

i'm with paperboy, looks like the car has been in an accident before. a full 2 degrees is a bit much, considering the other side is zero'd out.

but to answer your question, yes. adjustable front ball joints will be fine.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Start measuring from side to side and see what is bent. Its most likely a control arm or knuckle.

INGALLS adjustable ball joints will offset that although you should try to find the cause of the negative camber. You could also get a SPC rear camber kit to offset the negative camber in the rear. PM me if you need links.
