Larry,

I'll check the strut mounts and the toe in this weekend.  Thanks for the
suggestions all.

I can second that, only a 200Q sedan. FWIW, from what I've been told by
several techs, alignment shops and within the autocross community, toe has a
more significant effect upon wear that camber, which is probably why my
autocross set-up cars (-1.8 camber on the A2 GTi (R.I.P.) and -1.4 on the
Saabaru) still have/had reasonably even tire wear, in spite of moderately
high cambers (well out of factory spec).
