front end help?
I've noticed that the front tires are kinda vee'd out. The top is wider than the bottom. The right front tire wiggles if pushed on the top. The tire on that side is worn on the outside. A guy here suggested my ball joints? Is this it? Do i need to adjust the camber? If so how do i? Thanks

How many miles?
Jack it up, grab the top and bottom of the tire, and see if you can move it any. If it has play in it, the ball joints need replacing. You didn't say what truck you have, but if it's 4wd, it's a good time to do u-joints on the front axle, wheel bearings, oil seal, and tie rods and drag link.

Dang, so much for that idea!!! It is a 4wd, anymore suggestions beside the bearings, tie rods ends and u-joints? Is the ball joints the reason for the wheels pointing out?
