Wear is from to much positive camber if tire wear was present before alignment tire should have been placed on rear left on front will continue wear patteren

A four wheel alignment beinging done? no worn parts? like ball joints
think two different shops would not screw up the same. Have you got a level? put on tire 12 and 6 oclock compare bubble to left bubble should be in side level marks
