A little help please.

I've been looking but I am unable to find what may be the cause. my truck is a 64 GMC. I have 1985 c10 A-arms and spindles. After I did the swap i had a alignment done. I did cut 1 1/2 coil of the coils. Drives great does not pull, goes straight. But when i pull into my drive way to park or have to turn sharp the front likes to jump or slide. What could be the cause and how do i check it. Is it negative camber from cutting the coils? My tires where already wore some but they do look like they are running more on the inside then the center?

Please let me know if I'm on the right track. If so then i just need to add shims to the top A-arm right?

Re: A little help please.

Thanks for the help but I got it fixed. It had to much positive (tire top was out) camber. I hacked it up and took the dust covers off and put my level on the rim. Ended up taking 2 shims out on both side. That put the bubble in the center. Took it for a spin around the block pulled back into the driveway like I always do and she didn't slide! Yeah!!
