Something bent?

So I was looking under my fb and I noticed that on the inside top of front pass. wheel, was really really close to the strut tube, so much so that the wheel on the out side looks cambered... there are millimeters distance.
Is there adjustment point for that or is my strut/knuckle bent? Btw I got the car at wreck auction recently, but it looked like the hit was more in the headlight area.
I can try and get pics if needed

Sounds like the spindle on your strut housing is bent, they are fairly easy to bend in any impact. I had one bent the opposite way which I found when I couldn't get any camber in that side even with the camber plate all the way in until the 2.5 inch coilover springs were touching the strut towers.

Could also be a deformed strut tower as well. Is the fender seam on that side look even with the
wall of the engine bay?
