Passenger side wheel

Ive never really paid attention but my passenger side tire leans out at the bottom. Anyone know what to look for to try to get it corrected? Thanks

I don't see a problem based on the pic, but either way it's normal to have SOME tilt when sitting on the ground.

I jacked the wheel off the ground today and there is no play in the ball joints, actually they look like they have been replaced before. Is there any adjustments in the ball joints? It just seems to be a little more tiled than the driver side. Would bad shocks or leaf springs cause it?

Leaf springs? Is this in the rear?
If in the front, it sounds like it needs a camber adjustment.

some tire stores do a free alignment check, but i agree with stosh if there's a problem it'll be a ball joint or ball joint adjustment. if the previous owner replaced them or did a front end kit without having the truck aligned could cause problems
