Brian,

Is this [/ looking down from the top or at the tire from the front?

Check bearings, swivel ball, wheel nuts and studs.
Maybe start with jacking it up and getting weight off the wheel, first. Doesn't sound good considering you don't have IFS or the ability to adjust camber like that...

it can happen if your suspension is lifted and steering wheel cocked a bit to a side. the lost caster + turn to the side translates into very odd camber.

if its when the wheels are straight upper swivel pin would be suspect

Peter,

I am hoping you are right and it makes sence because I am still fixing the front end, replacing cv. track rod panhard rod and stuff but I have not centered anything yet. I will get on that first and then post again if I still have issues. My plan was to do it tonight but I have to go sing karaokee insted. The horor. :)
