Hey guys I just bought a 1990 f250 banks power 7.3 diesel .and the front tires lean out I'm no mechanic so what could it be?they look like this\ / any ideas ..thanks guys.
does it only look like that after backing into a parking spot? if so, that is a common issue with the IFS front suspension used on the F250.
if it sits like that all the time, then i would say you need center pivot bushings and new front springs.

Are those lift blocks between the spring and axle? If so I'd get rid of them. A pic of your rear suspension would help determine what you have going on.

Yes I believe they are lift blocks I just bought the truck so not sure what's all wrong with it I'll post rear pics as well thanks man.
ditch the blocks between the springs and axles and it will probably sit either straight, or a little the other way.
ditch the blocks anyway, because they are illegal and if you get pulled over for an inspection the truck will be red stickered and impounded until they are removed.
the springs are probably shot.
with the IFS under there, the center of the axle is solid mounted. so any movement in the springs is directly transferred to how the wheel sits.
that is the main reason so many of us dumped the IFS for a solid axle int he front.

Thanks a lot I will for sure remove the blocks any recommendations for legit lift products?
I bet you'll have a bunch of rake and need to lower the rear.
You're on the right track. See how it sits when you get both blocks
out. I'd be keeping an eye on the u bolts.... retourque them after 50
miles or so.

Yeah I think I need shorter u bolts now here's the rear suspension
Obviously have some leakage issues .lol but suspension wise should that block go as well?
