If you suddenly found 3/4" of toe-in, I'd be looking for worn or bent suspension components. Unless of course it's been adjusted recently and introduced an opportunity for someone to screw it up.

Maybe the negative camber helped a lot?

Positive camber and too much toe in will wear them out real quick.

Nothing bent or loose. Tire wear was rapid, but even and smooth across full tread. It went in a straight line at 140 MPH and my timetrials results with that alignment show that I can still win ever once in a while.

3/4" is a lot, but when you do the math, it's still only one degree per side.

It's my own fault for not double checking my alignment work.
