Front wheel lean
What causes your wheels to lean in bad when goin around curves?(top leans in). The front end has been alligned and they dont lean when setting still. Also the front tires like to churp when going around curves..

Caster, which is the front to back tilt of the steering axis is what leans the tire in or out on turns. If your caster is close to spec, then the tilt you see is normal. That is if your steering linkage and other parts are good and not shifting.
The next time you see an older Mercedes sedan turning sharp, notice how much lean is going on there. They run a lot of positive caster.
