Question Front end problems?

I had my tires rotated and balanced just recently.The tire tech pointed out that my front tires were cupping on the inside and said it was from worn out shocks.I took it to my local Ford dealer yesterday.The front end tech did a thorough suspension inspection and said all it needed was an alignment,and the shocks were ok.Has anyone else had this problem before or currently?

You should be fine now, if they did an alignment on your truck thats all it needed. Shocks wouldn't have anything to do with the problem you've described. My dad had that problem with his impala and an alignment fixed it right up. The old rule of thumb was to replace shocks at about 50-70,000 miles. Im going to wat till 100,000. My truck currently has 82,XXX right now and they seem to be ok.
