It is possible that the strut or lower control arm is bent or the subframe. Then a caster adjustment would correct the problem. However, if the strut is bent, then turning the nut at the top with a wrench should let you see the the top of the strut shell move while turning the nut.
I have changed struts, upper strut mount and lower ball joint on my car. All of these parts have very little room to move from side to side. The connecting bolts center the parts very well.
Unless the holes have opened up a lot for centering the ball joint or the strut mount, then it should be close to the original position.
The strut fits tightly into the steering knuckle. No looseness in that area other than in and out for the camber adjustment.
How long have you had your car?
