Can Bad Struts Cause Negative Camber?

It will not cause the camber to be screwed up. You need to have the car aligned any time the struts are replaced.

What causes negative camber?

The unintentional cause of negative camber is related to the suspension. A control arm or some other part of the suspension could have been damaged in an accident, going over a pothole, or just from uneven wear on your tires. Over time, this can cause them to bend and cause the negative camber situation.

Can bad shocks cause negative camber?

If the springs are too short or the mounting pads have collapsed, that will increase negative camber. Have you checked the ride height? At least you can change the rear camber with shims. If the ride height is correct, and the camber in spec., the shocks could be a problem if you lead- foot that SC engine.
