the wear is on the outside, the bushings/are tight and have less than 15k miles 
on them. I think the toe would have to be off by a great deal, enough to be 
visibly out of whack compared to the other side but I will check it before 
taking it in for an alignment. If it is that bad it shouldn't be hard to see. 
How can the toe change this significantly without something major bending or a 
joint going bad? The fasteners are definitely is still tight.
