You should also do as Larry suggested and check the toe in/out.

To do this, put the car on a level surface and roll it forward a bit to get everything in its normal state. Put a mark on the forward side of the tread of each front tire (somewhere in the middle is fine) and measure the distance between marks. Roll the car forward as far as you can to still be able to measure between the marks when they are on the rear side.

If, as Larry suspects, the wheels are toed out, the front dimension will be greater than the rear.

lots
 
an inch sounds like a lot. prob something bent or a really bad bushing. still as a temp fix you might be able to get half of it out with the adjustment. just guessing on the amount.

Did a bunch more research...
 
I still think the front springs are the culprit...

But I took it to a reputable shop in Rockville for an alignment, he looked at the condition of the tires and basically said the same things that ya'll did... toe out or LCA bushings.

I'll find out 2morrow or the next day.

Thanks everyone! I'll keep ya'll posted.
