On that side there is a bit of positive camber. It is because of the damage to the top of the strut tower. When I picked the car up, the strut had actually pulled down through the top of the tower. This was also the side where I replaced the lower A arm, that was bent back over 3" from it's original shape.

Did you just use a spring compresser? Can I compress the struts while its still mounted to the top?

There is not a lot of space around the spring, but I was able to get my manual spring compressors on the springs with them mounted to squeeze them enough to make it easy to compress the strut.
