Camber changes when driven forward or backward, what's worn out?
Hopefully a quick question here.
My truck sits just slightly \--/ when I drive it forward and park it.
When I back up into a parking spot it sits a little /--\
This is very consistent and happens every time I park normal or park backed in. What suspension part is it that's worn out?
Thanks!

Jack it up and look around. Push, pull, wiggle and wobble everything. You'll find the problem...
The front suspension on a I-beam ford truck is WAY too simple... and that's why it's legendary.

2X. Especially the look around part. I am guessing most things are worn now but especially the radius arm bushings and I-beam pivot bushings.

At a minimum, I'd wager a cold one that the king pins are toast.
