I have a 1969 f100 project, I am noticing that the wheels have a lot of camber and when I turn the wheel it gets even worse! The wheel on the outside of whatever way I turn caves in! What is it? Could it be upper or lower ball joints? An axle problem? Or could it simply be just the angle of my axle? Please anything is helpful!
I do mean positive, i am aware a wheel is supposed to have positive camber when turning but one wheel does it more than the other, also when i turn to the left the outside wheel gets a gap between the ground and the tire and puts all the weight on the corner of the tire the wheel caves in more than it should. I will try to post a pic tomorrow morning so you know what i am talking about.

One wheel is supposed to have more than the other. When you make a sharp turn the inner tire has a sharper turning circle than the outer tire. This camber you noticed is part of what Ford did to change the tires to have 2 different steering angles in a turn. If you turn the tires to the other side you will see the difference shift to the other spindle.
