The camber is beyond screwed. Ball joints alone won't straighten it out. Find the bad parts unless the housing is bent then you hope for the best.

It will cause excessive tire wear at best!

And may be dangerous!

Yeah say good bye to tour tires if you drive like that. Ball joints and unit bearings are most liekly toast. Could have bent axle tubes or bent inner or outer c's

Are you mecaniclly inclined? If so find the bad parts and repalce them its a labor intensive job for ball joints but can be done in an afternoon in the drive way with the right tools. And if your tubes or c's are bent then time for a new axle. Im not sure of the right way to check for a bent tube or c but i know when they are bad. If that makes any sense
