Inner tire wear

I tried doing a search for this but wasn't really sure what to search for. My left front tire seems to be wearing on the inside and I'm pulling slightly to the left. Is this an alignment issue or something else. Also my wheel seems to shimmy back and forth between 50-65, and my steering wheel bounces a bit while stopping. Could this be warped rotors, plus something with the alignment? Just wanted a couple of ideas before i go this weekend for the alignment. Also, I just installed 99' coils and KYB monomax shocks if that means anything. thanks

my drivers side front tire is completely worn down on the inside...its from a bad toe/camber alignment, im assuming the previous owner bumper a curb, or got hit or something

Inner tire wear is caused by having too much negative camber. You want to be as close to zero degrees for optimal tire wear. An alignment should also fix your steering wheel vibration, but that can also be caused by your tires.

Rotate your tires at every oil change and get at least yearly alignments.
