Default Help - Non Adjustable Suspension WH

Is this a common issue with WH models?
My vehicle has just ticked over 30,000Km, it has been behaving in this manner since about 8,000Km, when it had an OME 50mm lift kit installed.

Front left wheel is out of alignment and scrubbing the tyre on the outside edge. It wants to keep driving left all the time.

Have had it into a wheel alignment specialist who tells me that this is a common problem with the previous WJ model. Says there is an offset bush to fix?

I am not knowledgable in wheel alignment technicalities, the settings from the report as below (front only)

Caster - left 3deg38' - right 3deg51'
Camber - left 0deg50' - right 0deg09'
Toe - left 0deg01' - right 0deg02'

I understand that there is quite a variation in the numbers, however what it means except that it pulls left is beyond my scope, would certainly apprecaite some advice / feedback - is this a common problem with WH??

A. should this be a warranty issue?
B. how best to fix the problem and where can I get parts if that's what's required?
