Default Hub unit and camber

Right now my jeep sits like this /----l. The ball joints were just replaced. I've been doing some reading and read this could be a bad hub unit bearing or a bent axle tube. Which is more likely?

Okay tried that and it seemed solid. I noticed though while jacking up the jeep the Upper ball joint had about a quarter inch of vertical play. Checked the other side and it doesn't seem to do it.
