S197 Bump steer excessive tire wear

Find some sort of spacer to put in there so it doesn't move as much down?

I don't mean it disrectfully at all, so please don't take it that way - you seem to be doing a lot of guessing and a lot of extra work to ignore the problem staring us in the face. It's almost 99% too much camber causing the wear assuming the alignment is still correct. But with all the moving around the plates, it needs to get on a rack and be checked to make sure it is what you thought it was.

Assuming you don't have an alignment rack handy :) can you check toe with plates?

I really feel like there is an actual alignment issue here, but that is just a wild guess.
Toe plates is definitely gonna be the next check!
