Can't tell if you're trolling or not...

That looks to be the front sway bar. No, it shouldn't be like that. No, that won't affect camber. While it may be a problem, your going to have to look else where for the issue. It looks like some one hit something and bent a few things.

That is the rear sway bar and it looks fine to me, the bend is normal. He has to be trolling.

I'm not sure who is the n00bier n00b here. It's the rear sway bar/subframe.

The rear sway bar comes from the factory with this kink. They do this to intentionally influence the sway bar rate progression.

The rear suspension is fully adjustable for camber and toe. Excessive camber could be as simple as an alignment adjustment or as difficult as bent/worn/broken parts. Start with trying to have it aligned and the tech should be able to determine quickly if there is a mechanical issue instead.
