That's fine in a straight line.

Now what happens when you corner.

The body leans, outside tyre is taking the load, and the car is leaning on the outside edge of the tyre, instead of the maximum about of tread that we could have on the road.
The camber would not change if the arms were of equal length, but unequal length arms have different pivot centers around their specific radius, hence the camber would change.

Leroy, can I ask if you have checked the actual geometry of your current set up to validate that there is an issue, as you really need to check to see if there is a problem with this set up before you change it and potentially make it worse, not better..
