Exclamation Alignment problems please help!!

My 2000 Exp Sport's front tires are sitting in like this:/ \ but the outside (about 2") of the tires are wearing pretty badly. I looks to me the way they are sitting the inside of the tire would be wearing, not the outside. Any ideas?

Two words, ALIGNMENT SHOP need to go ASAP. This is not a home repair problem this can and will blow a tire out fast.

Just got it taken care of. Good advice!! It turned out that I had a lower ball joint that was going bad, but the ball joint was on the opposite side of the worst of the tire wear. It is right now. My steering wheel before when you were gong straight, was turned a little, but now it is pointing straight. The guy did a pretty good job on the alignment. The only original ball joint left is the on the upper side and located on the same side he fixed today. He said it looked pretty good though. I will start putting some money back for that though! Dogman, I really appreciate your advice on this and past issues. You really have a lot of wisdom about this stuff!! Thanks!!
