Can you post any pics? I would just like to see if the wheel has taken on a funny angle (neg camber) or if the suspension has dropped at that corner.

You need to think in terms of what could have changed... either bent or worn...

If the knuckle has worn the suspension will get lower and the camber will become slightly more negative as a result,

if the top / bottom balljoints are excesivly worn there could be more negative camber, but just jacking that corner up and wiggleing the wheel should make that obvious,

If the rack is shagged this would make a difference to the toe in not the camber, not to any noticable amount anyway,

If the top arm pin/bearing is worn this can affect the camber, plus due to the cone./ spring always pushing agaiinst the top arm, even at full droop it can make detecting wear difficult, compress the cone and then check for any play,

the bottom arm bush can also have an effect on the camber if it is knackered, plus being rubber can be tricky to feel any wear by shaking the wheel.
