Why so much negative camber?

So with brand new balljoints, installed correctly, I'm sitting with a shit ton of negative camber. I know the steering linkage is quite worn out and is getting replaced, but what else would cause it to sit so bad? Bent control arms?

Re: Why so much negative camber?

Hopefully new control arms, and control arm bushings solves this...

They're backed down quite a bit, I suppose I could go a bit lower.
