        You had the tracking done after the shock swap? If so did they also check the camber? Even though there is no real adjustment on the lower strut bolts the camber always seem to change slightly. I have access to a supertracker with camber so have done a swap and checked after and its surprising. However camber usually shows up on any throttle level. Like other folk said check bushes for play, and brakes for slight binding

          you can get up to about 3 deg of camber out of the strut to hub bolts, that then throws the toe out loads.
