The problem is probably that your control arm is banging on your fender wall. It's a pretty common problem from everything I hear. www.cb7tuner.com has a sticky about it in their Suspension section. You might have to do a little trimming, but nothing too horrible.

Calm down. You'll be alright.

take it to a shop and have them trim a little, i did that and that helped, then you just have to let it hit til it goes away, it might feel like your steering wheel is ****ed for a while, but give it a month and you'll be set to go.

It's not a huge problem and it'd be worth fxing the negative camber/excessive tire wear. Unless you aren't off the stock camber by much...then I wouldn't worry about it.
