you have a lot of negative camber with a good about of toe. Either you're lowered and dont have the neccesary suspension parts to get it back within spec or the alignment tech didnt tighten them enough.

No i dont have a camber kit and i am definitely on stock suspension. I just got stock shocks and springs. I also have the OEM rims. I go through tires like crazy and get an alignment done every time i get new tires from firestone cause i bought the unlimited alignment package.

Flip your tires and go to another firestone location. Your previous alignment must have been wack.

I've had terrible experiences with them. Do not recommend at all.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that it could be your bushings. They may be worn out and thus throwing off your alignment and will continue to do so. If you haven't had them check out, check it out, especially the lower control arm bushing.

^he's absolutely right. Worse case scenario is that something is bent.

I've had to take my g back to the same firestone 3 times to get it right I picked it up drove about 3 minutes and turned right around and went back the one near me is full of idiots, but could be a few things I would jack the car up grab the top and bottom of tire and try and wiggle it to see if there is any play in the suspension

Dang I got my lower control arm changed out last year.. Could be a busted ball joint? Like my ball joint is is leaking.. And my car kinda leans to the left if I closely look at it from a distance.
