Well sir , anything is possible , but with over 1200 hrs in this airplane and the fact that this problem just showed up with the addition of a set of new landing gear , I do not think that is the problem. I will consider making plans for some additional instruction though....
Leave good enough alone before you go twisting up a good set of gear. The toe difference is minimal and the fact that it's pointing both to the left isn't likely causing the plane to veer any such way. If 1/2" of toe and 7/16" left was causing cubs to veer off the left side of the runway there would be a whole lot more cubs off in the weeds. If you look at any cub out there close enough you'll find similar or worse measurements of the gear alignment. Cessnas are often even worse but they don't throw themselves off the runway on landing somehow.
I know this might be a touchy subject but is it possible that landing technique has something to do with your plane veering left? What's your landing speed? Can you just put in a bit more right rudder when flaring to keep the plane straight?
