Default Alignment issues

So took the car to get the alignment done was pulling to the right and just all over the place, over bumps and such. anyways took it in they did it told me the camber was way off. and that cannot be fixed, wich i know that. its really off. but its still pulling to the right and the left front inner tire is getting all worn down. still also tramlines over things. the owner i got it from, last year replaced the whole front end. Yet there are noticeable clunks on the right side over bumps.
Any ideas?
also heres the specs from the alignment.

yep you have more negative camber on the right rear than left which pushes the rear left and the front right. AND you have more negative camber on the left front than the right which also pushes the front right. So when you let go of the steering wheel turn on your right turn signal and youre fine
seriously though, WHAT was replaced in the front? thats a W I D E variable. Useally worn control arm bushings and and or weak coil srpings that drop ride height and increase neg camber.. Is the knocking just on bumps or does it do it if you stab the brakes too

slowly drive the car and rock the car back and forth with the steering wheel. if it knocks then you need new sway bar bushings and probobly end links too. on a lift you need to check the subframe mounts. The ones I am reffering to are behind the shocks and bolt the subframe to the body. The do crack and break and also knock over bumps. All bushings I guess youre reffering to both upper and lower control arm bushings both sides. Motor mounts need to be checked for seperation and another bad knocker is the trans mount when it collapses. It lets the trans bounce on the mount crossmember every time you hit a bump

did the rock back and fourth those seem ok. the trans mount was checked when i had the car inspected. I really think its the sub mounts. the springs are ok. what would cause the camber to be all messed up? I know its supposed to be fixed.
