About the only thing that can be adjusted is toe-in.

Go to a good alignment shop, have them put it on the rack, and check the settings.

Caster can be adjusted at the rear of the LCA's with shims, and camber can be changed with adjustable ball joints.

I was thinkin more like takin the wheel, hub, & knuckle off & puttin a level & an angle finder up to the inner C & see what i come up with from side to side. Ball joints are new but ill double check them for play. Im hopin that this all happened with the old 30 & im just noticing the uneven wear now!!!
Thanks!!

Question

Could the welding of the lower C gussets have caused this??? I just made a seperate thread on this with pics posted & my theory...
