Default Suspension damage question......negative camber
I was in a minor (~25mph at impact) fender bender. My drivers side front wheel has severe negative camber, so much so that my tire rubbed the upper control arm. I'd like to hear some possible scenarios about what it could be. Could it just be the alignment has been thrown off, or has something bent/broken?

Sorry for no pics, but I hope my description is good enough. Thanks.

You will need an alignment, but thats after replacing the CA's/TRE's.

Default I had the same problem it was the wheel bearing housing ~$75 from a junk yard...
Make sure you pick the right bearing size. Otherwise it could be a CA or TRE.
