Suspension durability 1999 9-5 Vs 2006 9-5

I have two 9-5 wagons.. eer Combis, a 99, tuned, loved, abused but well maintained.
The 2006 9-5 aero wagon... wife drives like a granny. Same maintenance but has seen a delaer as it is stil under warranty.
Here is my question. I have pummeled the 99 hard for the last 80K miles ( 130K total) & suspension alignment was perfect on last tire change ( noew shocks & some bushings but basically stock suspension).
The 2006 is totally stock down to the tires. The car now has 29K miles & needed new front tires after they wore the inside tread down to the wire.
The camber was excessively negative on the 2006. I thought this was a result of sloppy bushings on older cars or excessive wagon rear cargo not on a 2 year old low milage car. Has anyone seen a trend on newer 9-5 loing out of spec faster than older cars.
This is more a curiosity note than a concern, bought the adjustible camber bolts & rear shims for $45.
Thanks
Saabnet Rocks !
