Death wobble HELP NEEDED

What can cause my second jeep to have this camber? I think its cause my death wobble. At about 55mph i have a slight shake but if i hit a bump the whole front end of my jeep goes ballistic. As you can see my other jeeps front tires are straight as a arrow, so what could be causeing this issue? Thanks

Does it have wheel spacers? What is the wheel size and backspacing?

Could be as simple as a bent axle.

So I jacked it up today and walked up and grabbed the top of the tire and shook it back and forth and the ball joints are shaking kinda bad, so I'm ganna change those out and see if that fixes the problem
