Hi there,

This is the camber of the wheel alignment. When any front suspension or steering repairs are carried out, an alignment should be preformed as well. If the car is steering straight and not pulling to one side all should be ok. An alignment check will advise if there eis something out. The fact that you can see the Angle is not important. The actual settings are.
