If the wheel nuts were sloppy and the wheel was not properly seated on the hub, your camber measurement may be out a bit.
What method are you using to measure the camber?
I ran across this video that uses a plumb bob to measure the camber ... it appears to be a pretty accurate method since a plumb bob always provides an accurate vertical reference line (as long the wind is not blowing in your work space). The calculation they show in the video is incorrect (as pointed out in one of the comments) ... you should use Sine in the formula instead of Tangent ... but at low inclinations it does not matter much.

No idiot award given for this minor indiscretion ... that's part of life.  |
I agree. If reasonably snug I think the difference will be minimal or none.
As far as the award goes, this coveted recognition will not go to CCNorth. It is reserved for those with much greater capacity and frequency for messing things up.
