A few months back I hit a decent sized pothole with my f250. Right after I noticed that whenever I turn (left or rright) my tires jam up against my bumper and the tread rubs on the inside corner really bad. I also notice now when im backin up out of the driveway and come to a stop to go forward I can feel somthing shift up front. My dad who does all the work on my truck cant find anything bent or bushings that are worn or cracked. Any ideas. Im out of ideas. Have never taken my vehicles in to be looked at or worked on, really dont want to start now so any suggestions wud be greatly appreciated. Also the I noticed last night the driver side tire was kicked in on the top. Thank you very much!

something is either bent or has shifted. If you can't find it (them) then you'd be better off taking to a good garage and let them find it...you can then do most of the work yourself, if needed.

Look and see if the axle has shifted on the leaf spring on that side.

You may have sheared of the center bolt in the spring that keeps the axle located.
