Why do my wheels do this?
Can anyone tell me why my wheels angle like in the pics when i reverse? It is when I back into a spot or while I am just backing up in general. As soon as I pull forward they go right back like they should. The ball joints and tie rods are brand new. The wheel bearings are less than a couple years old. And I don't know enough about a D50 to figure it out I guess.

Brand new shocks as well. Everything else that would be effected by a bad alignment is fine.
Why does it do that? Is it just a D50 thing or does a D60 do the same and is it bad to let it sit that way for an amount of time? Thanks Rick

A D60 is a straight axle. If a 60 does that, there is some serious issues! The ttb 44's and 50's all do it after they "wear" a little. Check the center bushing's for slop, and get it aligned if ya haven't already. It is a common thing though.

Thanks guys. So is it ok to leave it parked that way or does it cause further stress and wear?

my neighbors truck has 196k miles on it and i just replaced the ball joints 2 weeks ago.
he has parked it like that every night for the past 19 years, so i will have to say it will not do any damage

My truck does that also, just not that bad. It did it really bad when the beam pivot bushings and radius arm bushings were bad. It now has new ball joints, tie rods, polyurethane pivot and radius arm bushings, wheel bearings, new tires, and fresh alignment. Doesn't do it as bad, but still does it a little.. It's just a TTB thing..
