front end problem(s)? something doesn't seem right

i have a 2000 F250 Crew Cab 7.3L, im pretty sure my wheel bearing on the passenger side is bad and that is getting fixed this week, but i noticed my tires were out of alignment and i had them aligned, my truck ran smoothly after that but my tires still looked unaligned but started shaking again after 2 days and you can clearly see that my front passenger tire outerwall sticks out between 1/4" to 1/2" outside the fender and the front driver side tire outerwall sits inside the fender about 1/4" to 1/2" (the tires were like that before the alignment), the driver side tire looks like it leans in but the passenger tire looks like its straight , to me it kinda seem's like the whole front end has shifted to the right, but it ran smooth after the aligment with the tires staying like that... does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is or could be (if there is one)... has this happened to anyone else...

Welcome to the site!

It could be the ball joints... not sure though, check out the Superduty forum - and ask your question there, you will get many more responses.

Wish you luck
