Camber/Alingment HELP
I bought a stock height F150 4x4 that has a negative camber issue. I read about "adjustments" and only seem to find offset kits. I was told there was front end work done and it seems to drive fine. I think at this point it was simply tie rod ends. I know nothing about these style axles. I am starting to think my springs are tired after picking up the front end with a forklift and setting it back down. I watched for ball joint movement, I tried to get some movement out of them while in the air. They didn't seem to be the problem. I have had the truck in 4wd and would like to "tighten up" the front end and fix the camber issue. I plan on doing axle u-joints while getting at the wheel bearings and brakes. Again the ball joints don't seem to be the issue and I really want to make sure I check all areas needing attention. The truck has 200k on it with a new motor and tranny. I plan on putting some more serious miles on it . Help would be appreciated, I want to order needed parts ASAP and it needs tires (that I don't want to ruin)

Worn out springs may be a big culprit as well. I had similar problems and I decided to try out new and heavier duty springs and it fixed my problems. I used springs from an f250 with a 460
