Def, jack front up and take a pry bar to the bottom of the tires, see if they move.

Sorry for the delay getting this updated... weather has been bad and I just now got around to working on the beastie.

Put new shocks on it today, and it eliminated about 85-90% of the wheel slant. All that's left now is undoubtably just alignment, since the wheel doesn't lean in at the top, but out at the front now.

Passenger tire is straight as an arrow now, it's just the driver's side that has a toe-out problem now.

Ironically, I've been watching other F-250's of my era driving around town, and I've seen a few others with the exact same problem. Guess it's not just me, eh?

Yeah, I plan on adjusting my tie rod myself in the next few days, just to try and straighten that wheel out. It won't be perfect, but it'll be better than it is.

Here I thought that was part of the factory options on these trucks!

Mine 150 has done this ever since I got it. I had a buddy that is a front end man, check it out, and he always told me it was fine.
