Default Right front alignment off

Got a new set of tires and had the alignment checked, shop said the the right front was in at the top by 1 degree.

It needs balljoints,, but I can imagine that causing a whole degree, is there any way to true it up?

When you know it needs balljoints - not worth risking feathering that new rubber by delaying.

A warm day in Vero Beach? I lived in Port St Lucie for over ten years and can remember a lot of summer days when it was too hot, but not a winter day too cold to work.

Check the ride height on both sides, upper mount could be shot, increasing camber dramatically.
