Default Positive camber

My 95 wrx seems to have given itself positive camber on its left front. Could anyone shed a light on why on earth this has happened and what i can check to rectify this? I thought camber wasnt adjustable on these so how has this occured? Oh and the only suspension mods are eibach springs
Cheers

On my 02 STi the front camber can be adjusted using the OE bolts. Not sure about the classic though, it could be bush wear maybe even hub bearing collapse. So personally I would have a darn good look over it. To check the bearings jack up the front wheel and see if the wheel rocks when moved in the vertical axis. Byh placing one hand at the top and the other at the bottom of the wheel and try to rock it. If you think the play is excessive compare it to the right hand side.

Camber bolts been incorrectly adjusted or not tightened correctly.. Either that (as pippyrips said) something has been damaged.
