do you remember what it cost parts/labor to have it replaced?

It is designed to lift the tire off the ground enough to change the tire, no higher. The foot of the jack must be directly under the lift point.

here is a couple i took when i had them taken off the wheel yesterday.

The tire looks like the wear across the tread is normal except for the step on that inner(?) edge.
I recommend that you carefully inspect all of the suspension parts on that corner, looking specifically for bent parts. It seams like the geometry is OK straight ahead, but maybe that corner is in a odd orientation during turns, and worse with higher steering angles. The suspension geometry is affected by the position of the suspension as it travels from fully extended, to fully compressed, Toe, is affected by this the most. Make sure that the spring/shock assembly, when turning the steering, rotates on the steering axis the same way, on both sides. Also, have the steering wheel slowly turned from full right to full left, slowly, while you watch the suspension parts move during the translation from lock to lock. With both wheels off the ground, do the same slow l/r lock to lock and observe the motion behavior of each side, and the comparison for similarity, side to side. Look for camber, and toe deviations of the left compared to the right side for different steering angles.
Post back your findings.

will do. i'm on vaca right now.. so i'll post back when i'm back at home
