Check the front wheel camber. You can do this with a carpenter's square, a ruler, and some basic geometry/trig, or with an iPhone if you are so endowed. If it's not right, you can get it corrected.
My front camber was excessively negative, and a local shop corrected it by slightly grinding out one pair (upper or lower, I don't recall) of holes on the strut and setting camber before tightening down on the mounting bolts. Seems like a better choice than "camber bolts", which are essentially undersized bolts with a thickened and offset center portion to allow the same thing to happen. They only grind in the direction the strut needs to move, so the worst that can happen if the bolts loosen (very, very unlikely) is it goes back to "factory".
