Some degree of camber and caster can be done at the strut tower by an experienced suspension tech.
Some camber can be adjusted by bending the strut tube (not the strut).
Also, the intrinsic angles of the spindle/hub can point to damaged parts that would need to be replaced.
Lastly, a bent attaching point on the suspension may need to be pulled at a body alignment rack to correct distorsions.

Obviously there are no cam adjusters and/or shims, however, the job can be done.
