Sounds like a camber or toe problem and you need an alignment.

alignment usually makes both tires go bad, im surprised its only one... you do need an alignment, but i would look at all the suspension components their as well..... 2k miles is nothing, if it is alread yshowingt major ware its toe related, camber wont present itself as a problem as fast as toe will

try to find a shop that specializes in front ends!!!!

I had the same problem, and like an idiot kept going back to the same place to get it fixed. Finally went to a front end place and they charged me less than half the price and did it perfect!

Try looking at the ball joints or tie rods, they may be loose and or need replacing.
