Slapped my winters on. Upon pulling the front right wheel off I noticed the inner part of the tire is wearing way faster.
Camber issue?

Don't take my advice.
Or a toe issue.
We're both tires this way?

Nope, just the front right. All other tires seem to be wearing evenly... "seems" to pull to the right a bit, but the roads here suck so I dismissed it.

Check it out
Take your car to a decent alignment shop.. request a before & after print out/reading...
Post the results here....
Oh part of your problem maybe that the front suspension bushings/components may be worn. That tire just seems to be worn on 1 side, not cupped or feathered... which is a good thing.
How does your car ride down the road? Other than pulling to the right does it behave badly?

Rides pretty sweet, no complaints. Has almost all new suspension now, strut rod bushings, control arms, struts and coils all around.
I suspect the strut rods may need to be tweaked from when I replaced the bushings in the front. Got an alignment scheduled a few hours from now, will for sure post the pre and post measurements.

So I got the car back, and they said they couldn't align it because I need a shim and a cam bolt to properly make the adjustments. I asked for the printout and this is what they gave me:
I'm a little confused, is actual what my current measurement is? and "before" is before they adjusted anything?
Edit: if actual readings are the way they left it, it seems my alignment would be worse then no?

take it to a different shop.
if I take that printout at face value, they have screwed it up even worse than it was before.
according to my Ford shop manual, the TOTAL toe should be -.225" to .150", which means that at .70" they have it set to scrub the tread off your tires in no time.
but, if it was really -.56" (toe-out) prior to them looking at it, that would explain why there was no tread left on the inside edge of the front tire.
