Default First Rover - Question on Alignments

I just bought my first Rover. I noticed that the left front wheel has alot of negative camber probly 1.5 degree. I know thats too much! It drives funny too. Is there a common problem that would cause that? The wheel bearing is tight and the ball joints don't have any movement. I'm thinking the spindle must be bent. I doesn't have anything obvious that would support that, but being a straight axle it would almost have to be. Right?

You have non serviceable hubs on both front and rear axles.
I do not know if a bad hub would cause that or not.
Just take it to a alingment shop and have it checked out.
Here is a new hub.

Regarding the steering wheel and alignment. Put on 4 new tires and just had my alignment done. Car runs straight, but the steering wheel is not centered. Is this OK? I just bought the Rover and not sure how long it was like this.

Yeats,
Find a good alignment shop that works on 4X4's and have then look, this is not common.

Sharp,
The shop that did your alignment should have centered your steering wheel as part of the alignment, take it back.
