If it has POS 2° Camber w/no shims, something is possibly/probably wrong. Wrong parts combination. Assembly issue. Something.... You need to provide some additional background information.

Did you (you/someone you know) do the x-member swap?

Can you provide some pictures of the upper a-arms + where they're attached?
