did you ever get an alignment after dropping? if not, there is your answer right there... you need an alignment.

sounds like you have too much toe. It should be set to 0 in the front.
Camber is not the enemy of tires, toe is!

Hey i got your PM.. A alignment would be the first step to see whats going on with your situation as others have said.. I dont recall the name of the shop that did my alignment along time ago but im sure that many here can point you in the right direction based on your location. I have been out of the loop on where to go for alignments because I do my own.
