Default swapped DC knuckles into my EK and now 1 side has negative camber but other don't

hi guys,

i did a front brake swap from a DC to my EK DX. My alignment is off which I suspected but the camber on my driver's side is way negative while my camber on the passenger side appears to be zero or close to it. I'm just eyeballing it but it's totally obvious.

The car is dropped on coilovers and dropped about 2 inches. ball joints appeared to be fine and I'm not getting any wobble.

I've read we can't adjust camber on stock parts.

What do you guys think is the problem? or what suggestions do you have? i'm thinking of a camber kit.

nothing that i noticed. i guess i'll take off the wheel , put on a square against the hub and measure some points along the knuckle and compare both sides.

i'll guess that the zero looking camber is the bent 1.

ok. i contacted the guy who i bought them from and found out the car was hit on the passenger side. that explains a lot.
