What can cause the front wheel to lean inward?

On the 80, I have looked over the front end and see nothing obvious, the front wheel on the right I have noticed would seem leaning in at times, I always wrote it off to eneven ground at first, but it is becoming more pronounced lately, flat paved ground and what not, it has a good deal of lean over the other 3, and (maybe this is in my head) it seems to feel to me like the front of the car has a sloshy (not loose) feel to it, sort of in a diagonal direction toward that corner when hitting road irregularities or turns. I have looked at the ball joints, tie rods, bearings, suspension bushings, spring and perches. Could it be the tie rod mount under the battery? I wrote that thought off because the car still seems to feel normal and identical on left and right cornering, both low and high speed. There also appears to be no leaning/sagging of the body.
