Default Positive camber issues

I have had my alignment done several times and the numbers are fine but my right front tire always wears down bad on the outside. My 95 camaro did the same thing, my friends 97 camaro does that to both tires even though alignments are done. Neither of us corner hard at all. The only thing I can think of that could cause this is the stock rubber bushings on the front suspension is causing it to lean while driving. Maybe replaceing with poly, the loose steering will tighten up too. Anyone else have experience with this annoyance?

You have too much positive camber. You need to find a good alignment shop, that has a calibrated alignment rack, and a tech who's actually willing to do more than a "toe and go".....
