Mike Wing should be able to spot camber and caster problems straight
away, although why the thing would have slipped so badly would need to
be discovered. As for Idea #3 ("[...] hardware problems in the
suspension that make everything look right on the alignment rack but
don't work right on the road.", this sounds like something for my go-to
mechanic (Steve, at Steve's Place here in Bend) to visually inspect for.
