Your camber is out and a common problem on your vehicle. The bushings in the lower control arm and the upper lateral links tend to wear cause the wheels to lean inward. In most cases replacing the control arms and links would be cheaper than buying the bushings and having to spend the labor pushing out the old and installing the new. Then you can get an alignment, as the adjustment is not at all huge.
