Excessive toe-out will cause that issue. Too much negative camber will also cause the issue, but is much more unlikely unless the front springs are very soft and the body is several inches lower than stock.
You can check toe with a careful measurement (with a stick ruler) across the tires.
Take one measurement at the very forward edge of the tires. Take the second measurement at the very aft edge of the tires. The two measurements should be within 1/16". If the forward measurement is significantly larger (1/8" or more), the wheels are toed out. You can fix this in a half-assed manner by screwing the tie rod sleeves an equal amount on both sides so the wheels come in at the front.
It's not a perfect solution, but in your situation, it's better than nothing.
