Ok so having the pax wheel (viewed from front) pointing out while the
drivers wheel is straight will also cause this... well that's not too bad
then... this is the reason I'm taking it in for an alignment.. toe out on
the pax side...

There you go....

Mine is also doing that and Steve from this group is coming over today
to help with an alignment, rotate the tires and new wheel bearings on
the one side that I think it needs. My one wheel is tilting out top and
side and flopping a bit... Not bad, 6 years on this set turning 33's...

It would figure, for once I get the locking hubs holding on nice and
tight with no issues and I need to rip them apart to repack the wheel
bearings. Time to get the CJ7 all tightened back up. Might be heading
to the east coast this year for a visit so need to be ready for 3000
miles or so.

Yes, when one wheel or the other is out of toe, you actually get some wear
on both tires because the toe is divided between the two in order for the
vehicle to go straight down the road. Once a tire wear pattern from it is
set though, you don't get that rubber back, so the tires will continue to
wear funny, and may get noisy, or start to pull, if the wear is bad enough.
If the back tires are in better shape, I'd have all four balanced and then
rotated. Tire wear changes the balance of the tire, an out of balance tire
increases wear on the tire, and wear on related suspension components, and
eventually, you "back side" once the out of balance condition starts to
vibrate.
Good luck man,
