Does anyone know why front tires would wear on the outside edge under the following conditions. And can I cross-rotate (LF to RF, RF to LF)) to get more mileage out of the tires?

('95 855 Turbo wagon)
-Wears mostly on the front right tire
-Car is aligned to factory specs (according to tire store)
-Car currently has "H" rated tires instead of specified "Z" rated tires
-Wear in lower right ball joint ('95 requires A-frame replacement)
-Car tracks pretty straight
-Possibly understeering more in a left turn

Any help much appreciated. Have a good weekend all,
-Smitty
