wheel alignment questions

i was searching through all the posts and noticed alot of people have a problem with their tires looking like this... /--o-\ but mine look more like this \--o-/ for some reason the bottom of both my front tires are more inward than the top. alot of people have said this is normal for ford trucks, but i cant see how this would be usefull for anything. the tires wear looks normal but i can imagine this puts alot of stress on the ball joints and reduces my cornering ability alot. should i try to make them straight? or just leave it?

What your referring to is camber- top of wheel in is negative,top of of wheel out is positive.It is normal for them to look out(1 way or another).If the tires are wearing good,than the alignment is good.But if you have any doubts,it's cheaper to check the alignment than it is to buy a set of tires.
