Suspension Question.

Hey. I have a question. My front tires lean inward at the top. If i park straight it looks like my tires are farther apart at the bottom and the top of the tires lean inward. The ball joints are ok and i dont have irregular tires wear what could this be? It is an 88 ford f-150 with TTB. Is this normal.

well.......Yes

Your most likley problem is your springs are sagging (or did you happen to add extra weight o the front? winch, engine swap...ect?) and causing the bad caster.

No there is no more weight. There is a 6 inch lift on it though. it does not wear funny so i dont know where to start. So it could be the springs are getting weak?

Thats sounds about right when i back up and park it is really noticable. I didnt have the truck when the lift was put on it so i dont know if it was aligned i will have my buddy align it at his shop one day. I would align it but my shops alignment setup is messed up .
