Does that tire show any signs of uneven wear? I'm assuming so, but it's worth checking. Put the car on jack stands and see if you can find anything loose or immediately see anything that is bent.
Any strange knocking noises? Do all body panels line up and have uniform panel gap? If you're lucky, it's something as simple as a previous owner hitting a curb and bending the control arm. If you're unlucky.... That might be frame damage and the previous owner neglected to mention any accidents. For right now, I'm leaning towards bent control arm. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
