Default Tyre wear

Please bare with me, Basicaly i'm getting unexplained tyre wear on both front tyres. All 4 egdes are wearing very quickly and the inners being the worse.
My car is a late classic with prodrive dampers and Eibach springs and whiteline d/l's.
I know that the usual answer would be under inflation but i'm running the fronts at 36 psi now to try and compensate the wear. I was previously running at 33 psi.
I'm now thinking it could be knackered bushes and this could also explain the real light steering and lack of "feel" at speed.
So what i am thinking is, if i where to fit a Whiteline alk and poly inner wish bone bushes it could correct a number of problems.

I know it sounds like i have answered my own question but i would really be gratefull of any advise or information you may have.

Thanks in advance.

Excessive camber would be my first thought.
