K400EX&A250EX

I have TWO 400exs (stock front ends) that have been in rollovers that have the same problem that I'm hoping some of you guys can help me diagnose. I replaced the bars on one and the bars and steering stem on the other...which fixed those issues...but there is one other issue I'm hoping for some help on.
On both bikes, the right front tire/wheel leans in toward the bike from bottom to top. As near as I can tell from reading the FAQ on front end adjustments, I THINK that is called negative Camber. I've looked the A-Arms and Tie Rods over good it does not look like anything is bent.
My questions are as follows: Could the camber get out of allignment from rolling the bike...or is that something that would stay put once you got it alligned? Is it more likely that something is bent? Would a bent spindle (assuming that the A-Arms and tie-rods are OK) cause the negative Camber?
Any info would be appreciated. I have learned A LOT about our bikes (especially the 400EXs) on these forums over the last couple of years and hope that someone can give me some hints on how to troubleshoot THIS problem.
