Tire on passanger side leaning in Help

The tire on the passanger side is leaning in. I installed new ball joints upper and lower and new adj. bushing/ cambrideg. I jack the truck up adj the wheel kinda straight up and down tighten everything back up. It looks good then drive around the block and it is leaning back in again. It is a 1994 ford f150, 302. Thanks Joe

Sounds like you didn't put the bushings back in the way they came out.

True I don't know a whole lot about this but I do no what changed and know the problem I am having. I think it might be called a cambridge adj bushing, I was kinda in a hurry. Maybe you can address the problem I am having. Thanks Joe

I changed the ball joints firsted and straighten the tire back up, drove around the block the tire was leaning again. realighen and the same thing happen. The alighment place told me that the cambridge bushushing was bad so we change it with a postive neg 4% adj. readj the wheel drove around the block the same thing. ????

Next time, take your time. It's never a good idea to rush a job like that.

If the alignment shop can't fix it, you need a new alignment shop.

Ever think its a weak spring . Happened to me. I change mine on every truck I get with over 100000 miles. But your shop should know . I go to the mom and pop places for adjustments I get better luck
