My front right Steer Tire has outside edge wear. Will it fix itself after alignment?

I've had a similar problem. I had the toe set 3 times 2 sets of king pins and no change. Truck pulled hard right and always wore the steer tires uneven. Found a alignment shop who told me bring the truck in with a new set of steers. Apparently they cold bent the axle to correct the camber, set the toe and shimmed the drives. The truck now hold the road and does not pull to the crown what so ever. Tires have also been wearing great.

I’m having a similar problem and the alignment shops can’t get it right. Mechanics can’t the problem. Where is the shop that you get your front end checked?

Has anyone checked the ### end of the truck? Alignment issues back there will cause issues up front.

Got it checked 3 times also aligned 3 times. Also got all the shocks replaced and still the same thing. I have to replace a steer every 6 months.
