Hey Guys,
I have a 96 Ranger and it really has been good 325,000 so far. My problem that i have is my tires are wearing on the inside ever since it was bounced off the curb. I just found out when i saw the front rim had a dent from hitting the curb so i rotated the tires and as i was placeing the jack under to rise it. I then noticed that the bushing on beam was moved about a half inch. When i drive it and let go of steering wheel it driffs toward the left. It's been a really good truck otherwise.

Yes, you need to have the alignment checked. Also, you would be wise to replace that dented wheel. And, if you hit the curb hard enough to dent the wheel, that tire should be checked for possible damage.
Repaired, you should be good for another 100 K miles, at least. Left as is and you will be replacing tires frequently and run the risk of a blow-out in the tire on the dented wheel.
