Running low pressure will wear out the sides and give excessive tire roll on cornering.
I replaced a perfectly good looking stabilizer at 18k...and fixed the wondering. Tire pressure is recommended on the tire itself, ignore the door recommendation. I have run mine at 40 psi and the wear is perfect. Run low profiles with less pressure and you will wonder. stiff side walls on the low profiles require more pressure....but if you are running 40 series or higher, then you can drop pressure. The old days of 32 psi are gone with low profiles... you can run it, but it won't be the firm ride the tire requires. The only other possibility are the bushings themselves being bad. Or something loose in the steering. There isn't anything else left. The stabilizer I bought was larger than the factory one. Good luck...just trying to help, so take it for what it is worth....
