REPLACE THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM WITH NEGATIVE CAMBER CORRECTION (THE RIGHT FRONT CAMBER IS OUT-OF-SPEC)
And the kicker, they are telling me that its not covered by the cars warranty.... .

Hard to comment from a distance, but you mention "from June my car..." I assume from this statement the car was fine before that time. If so 'some event' is most likely involved.
The component they are referring to (commonly called a wishbone) is not necessarily bent, but comes in different dimensions to get the camber in specification. There is a standard dimension part, plus + & - value wishbones. The 'outsize' components give a +/- 30min value around the standard part number dimensions.
Hope that helps a bit on the technical side.
