HELP! Alignment pulls right.. they suggest camber?

I have my 2K maxi and she pulls pretty strong to the right. I have taken it in to Big-0 tires several times to have the alignment fixed and told them to CHECK for any stuck bolts that would presist the pulling. After working on it for 1.5 hours, they said I needed chamber kits on the front and that is what is causing the pull...

My understanding is that chamber only deals with the tilt of the wheel and the toe angle is the one that could cause the pulling in a different direction.

I haven't put in new springs yet, so car is still fully stock. They even checked the tires..

WTF is wrong with my Max?

If it's fully stock, you don't need cambered bolts. If the alignment is within specs, it's good. I would bet your tires are the problem. Rotate them or switch the front tires side to side and see how it pull's.

If they said you need cambered bolts, then something might be bent underneath. The stock spec is .5° positive to 1.0° negative. I have my toe at 0 and my camber at 1.2° negative camber and does not pull.
