Mine does the exact same thing. More so on the passenger side than on
the drivers side. I am about 100% sure it is from excessive camber. I
can actually see from a distance that the passenger side is canted out on
the top farther on the passenger side. I checked all the knuckle
bushings and they are good as is the toe in. Anyone out there know how
many degrees the camber should be? I imagine the only way to correct
this is to bend the axle tube with a hydraulic axle bender.
