Question What causes camber problems?

'91 F-150 2WD

General info question here:

What causes camber problems? You know, when the front wheels are all splayed out farther at the road than at the top of the tire when viewed from the front of the truck?

Ball joints and radius arm bushings don't seem to be excessively worn...at least they don't wiggle when I jack it up and shake.

Is this "hidden" wear? Or something else I should replace?

I just don't want to be screwed at the alignment shop.

Thanks,
Chuck

You've already checked the most likely culprit: ball joints. I-beam (axle) pivot bushings could be worn or the bracket that holds them could be cracked.

is your truck lifted? too much lift without readjusting will throw your camber off as well

No lifting for me.

I'll check the axle pivots and bushings.

Any other ideas while I'm at it?
