Normal wear or suspension issue

Own a 12 mr & have had no odd issues except one listed below.
Having very unusual tire wear in front & rear.
Have rotated tires every 5k& also had alignment done at 3k & again at 5k. Car was pulling to the left. I'm at 12k now & the wear has got me worried I may have a suspension problem. Even though it was checked by 3 different mitsubishi dealers, now I'm a little worried. I'll know tomorrow when tire distributor may cover the stock rubber, only
if alignment is dead on. The car has had no issue since 2nd alignment, it goes straight as an arrow. Was thinking is it possible I need a aftermarket camber kit.
Also,I'm 100% stock as far as suspension. Any opinions or ideas, please let me know, don't really want to rely on dealership since no one can seem to see any issues. Thanks again for the help.

Will do, tires are down to 4/32 so not much left. Right rear is slightly out, I'll post specs when I get home from work. Thanks for the input.

Ok I'm using my phone I can't attach the image.

Left front camber -0.8
Left front caster 3.8
Left front toe 0.08

Right front camber -1.1
Right front caster 3.9
Right front toe -0.04

Front total toe 0.04
Steer ahead 0.06

Left rear camber -1.2
Left rear toe 0.18

Right rear camber -1.0
Right rear toe 0.27

Rear total toe 0.44
Thrust angle -0.04

This alignment spec is a train wreck. No wonder my tires are destroyed..

Obviously, alignment is out of spec.

Toe is out---especially the rt rear with better then 1/4 toe. I would highly recommend you get to a shop that can set everything up correctly... I can see camber being out a little and not identical side to side but no reason toe is not the same at the very least side to side and that rr setting is a joke.. you dont need camber plates you need a good alignment from a reputable shop.. have them set toe to "0" up front and the absolute minimum in the rear--"0" if they will do it and your probs will go away.
