Need advice and help

On our cars,and pretty much any car,the condition of the shock has no real relationship with the static alignment.E70 being a double wishbone suspension,even if you remove he shock and springs completely,will not affect the alignment.
E70 east the front tires on the outside shoulder.At least that is the case with mine and i drive relatively agressively.

How old are your tires?It may be the tire issue.At least in my case that is what the mechanic told me when I went to the shop because the car pulls to the right.

They are no more than 2 years old.

If the front tires are bouncing,that car will be undriveable.
The picture may not be very clear,but mine is worn on the same spot.It has more than half thread in the middle and inside,but almost gone at the outer edge.The car was aligned a few months ago and has less than 40k miles,but the previous tires were worn in the same pattern.I have seen this only on 20"s and with relatively agressive driving.My guess is that happens due to the double-wishbone suspension which has very little static camber,and the run-flat tire flexing in a specific way.

Have you found a fix?

Not really.I have decreased the camber on the rear to ~1 degree and now it doesnt wear the inside shoulder excessively.Probably if some camber is added to the fronts the problem will go away or will be negligible.I am thinking 0.5-0.75 degree,but not sure if there is adjustment for the front camber.

Edit:
I looked at your alignment printout and looks you are almost at 0 camber.-0.83 is the lowest specified,but 1.0-1.25 negative will definitely solve the problem.I have to spend some time on mine to see what could be done.
