Default alignment question

i have a 92 civic hatch.. on omni power full adjustables along with the camber kit

this is kind of hard to explain but i'll try my best...

basically whats happening is, if i were to set my steering wheel straight, the straight steering wheel corresponds to the driver side... while the passenger side wheel is pointing to the right... but if i were to turn the steering wheel a lil to the left to make the passenger wheel straight, the driver side wheel would be pointing way off to the left... its weird because when i do this, u can see the driver side wheel looks like its SUPER CAMBERED out... while the passenger seems straight... to make a long story short, one wheel points one way while one wheel points another while the STEERING wheel corresponds to 1 wheel... do u guys know what can be wrong on why it looks like that... honestly, raising my car wouldnt get rid of this either...

i'll get pics up soon to show u guys what i'm talking about... this is REALLY eating up my tires big time... if its not eating on the outside, its eating on the inside... it wouldnt seem like an allignment would do much to fix this... maybe i could be wrong... but who knows... any ideas ??

its entirely possible that somethign is bent. but you won't know unless you take it in for an alignment.
