Outside tire wear only problem..
This is a real bummer. I just replaced all four tires last summer with brand new General Grabber AT 2's. I also replaced 2 of 4 ball joints and all u-joints (no cv) on the front axle. I aligned it myself and drove straight as an arrow down the road up until a couple of months ago. I noticed it pulling a bit and eventually hopping a wee bit only when it gets up to @60 mph or so. The passenger side is wearing worse/faster than driver's side but both are wearing outside only. I just moved back tires to front temporarily so if I bring it in today I can get them to align it professionally if necessary.

I simply followed the many write-ups here and there as there's only one adjustment basically. For months, it rode straight as an arrow for several hundred feet before even slightly drifting due to environmental factors. I agree though that only fractions off the mark during the adjustment prolly did cause this which is why I swapped tires to the front to prep for the shop. Is there anything else that would cause the positive camber affect even though mine is not adjustable?

The WJs tend to do this when the hub bearings go bad (we have 3 in the famly). It very well could be bad wheel bearings.
If you end up needing a set we carry economy ones for under 100 bucks right now. I run them in my ZJ they're awesome. Here's a link to them for your 93. Jeep Grand Cherokee Wheel Bearings
