reason for rotating tires is due to bad coupling on front tires only

Also don't have adjustable arms
rotated tires do to bad coupling in the front but rears are fine
You're gonna want to start a new thread for your issue dude...

Oe (or in my case oe replacement) ball joints don't allow adjustments in camber, so no, my camber is not off. How ever, my caster is pretty far out of spec which is a big cause of my wandering while driving. (The other big cause would be my fcked up steering gear box)

Well went out today and looked and as it turned out things almost went really bad.

I am a little embarrassed to say but Turns out I must have put a little too much anti seize on my knuckle bolts. So they where actually about 5 turns from falling out. So upon tightening all the bolt back up my tires are now straight.

Looks like I overthought it a bit.

Pretty sure your knuckles can't fall off unless you jump it and all 4 ball joints separate at the exact same time...

That would be one hell of a sight. I would hope somebody was filming while it happened.
