Hello - I recently had my wheels aligned and the service technician said that the strut towers have a slight bend and that is making the camber 1/2 of a degree off on the left and 2/10 of a degree on the right. Should I be concerned with camber that is out by this much? Is this something that will cause uneven tire wear?

It can cause uneven tire wear and the possibility of a bent strut as well as the deformed strut tower can be corrected and I would suggest getting the shop that told you about the strut tower issue to quote for the repair work and let us know the outcome.
