You can mark the existing camber bolts so they are near enough correct when you refit the legs. This would be a temp option until you have the alignment set up correct.

The camber bolts [x2] are located at the bottom of the strut that hold it onto the hub. One of them is a straight bolt and the other one is off centre so be sure to mark it like I didn't.
