First be sure that your mounts are seated and that there is no damage to the control arms or the subframe.
Inspect the control arm bushings to see if they have collapsed The control arm bushing job sounds pretty tough so hopefully it is not that.
It is also possible that you have spring problems but as I said, as the wheel goes up the toe goes out.

I haven't checked the differential mount. As it mounts in the center, I would think it would throw off the alignment on both wheels, not just one. Nonetheless, I will check it. Also, I don't think you could even install the subframe bushings if they weren't collapsed completely as it is tough to even get the bolt started. But I will check them again.
Thanks,
Scott
