Scary!!!

Have a 88' Bronco II 4X4 with a Dana 28 front end. Front tires have been wearing really bad past few months. Figured just needed alignment. On a VA disability pension so money is really tight. Anyways, was walking toward it the other day on a parking lot and and looked at it and i couldn't believe it. No wonder the tires are wearing. They're both leaning INWARD at the top really bad...looks like an upside down V. Never seen tires leaning inward like that. Ya thing maybe LOWER BALL JOINTS?

Did you back into that parked position?
This is common with these trucks....I forget why exactly.
Probably due in part to spring sag.
I don't think you can get that much negative camber from worn ball joints. But I never let mine get that bad, so perhaps it's possible.
