Tire scalloping

I am getting a very slight amount of scalloping on the out side edge of my tires. Steering is still tight and no unexpected noises. I've read that super duties are having ball joint issues, but I don't think that is my problem. Any suggestions? After my next trip to the chiropractor, I will be taking a closer look at the tierods and leaf spring bushings.

Sounds like it's time to check the front end alignment. That's where I'd start.

If you mean cupping, its most likely a toe problem, and like msgtg said, get an alignment.

I have a 2003 F250 SD V10. How much should I pay for a complete front end alignment?

Does anyone have the alignment specs? It tracks pretty good.
