what makes your front tires start to bow in. I have a 90 4x4 and noticed that my front tires are starting to bow in. or I guess you can say the tire is leaning out.

That almost seems to be factory settings from ford haha.

In my old truck, it kinda looks like that too, and I had a buddy of mine, whos a front end mechanic, check it over and everything was just fine.

How bad is it bowing in?

Mine looks very slightly like that as well. \--/.

If it looks like /--\ then it needs new shocks, it has sagging springs, or it needs to have the ball joints replaced. It could be a combination of all of these things.
