How much negative camber do you have?

/-------\

While this looks a  little funny, it improves cornering and high speed 
stability.  A lot of autocrossers go to great lengths to acheive this.  In a 
spridget, it was technically non-adjustable.  From the factory the wheels 
actually bow out at the top by about 1 degree.  \-------/

If it is different from side to side here is the full list of why:
Offset  or worn bushings in the lower a-arm frame
Bent frame at lower a-arm mount
Bent spindle
Offset or worn trunion bushing
Bent shock arm
Plate or spacers under shocks.

Due to a bent frame on my car I had to use offset upper bushings to bring 
the alignment within tollerance
