Push your car's front end down to see if the shocks are damping the movement at all.

Usually some places wont honor lifetime if your car is lowered. You lucked out on that one...

you need RCAs. for your tires to be out 3 degrees, no wonder they're wearing uneven.

left rear toe eccentric will not allow tie rod to move into spec.

Just get some aftermarket toe rods to get your toe in spec. Camber doesn't kill your tires, toe does.
