   Take it off and put it on again, make sure you do the bolts up diagonally so the wheels pull down level.

   You have 4 Bolts, right?
   
   You do the top one until it goes stiff, then the bottom, then right, then left.
   
   Then make sure it's flat against the Hub.
   
   Then tighten them in the same order.
   
   If it's 3 bolt, Top, left, Right, Top.. Etc...

    Positive camber so the tops of the wheels are sticking out more than the bottom??? yeah?
    
    check your bearings and bottom ball joint. jack up the car and push and pull the wheel at 6oclock 10 to 4 quater to three.

    you haven't just parked it half on a kerb or at an angle have you cos that would make it appear to have postive camber.
