You did check your tires for proper inflation, right ?

There's a half degree difference in your #'s and that could be a thing but it doesn't feel extreme enough.

You mentioned new tires, and I'm assuming if you're talking about hopping 3 lanes rather quickly that you aren't on a seriously banked road (i.e. for drainage) or just quickly hopping out of a single lane (i.e. car not nestling in the ruts that sometimes get baked and pounded into asphalt).

Wish I could help more. tires & alignment normally solves issues, your cambers are indeed different but I feel like it's still something else. I'd start looking at what creates that camber (i.e. arms) and see if perhaps something is bent, or loose - bad bushing in one of the arms.
I didn't notice any difference between both control arms. I can double check everything and the bushings after work. It happens on all roads. Highways here aren't too banked. Now that you say bushings it does sound like a blown out one would cause a slight adjustment in camber. But all these stance cars don't pull so camber doesn't seem like the problem.

They're directional so not possible. I thought about switching the front wheels only. If it pulled to the right after that it would be a bent wheel. Wish I had my own tire machine.. I hate paying to have it removed and re mounted.
