Took my bumper and grille off today to do some upgrades, walking back to the house i turned around and realized i have a camber in my tires. It does need an alignment, i have to hold the wheel to the right which i was going to get to when i have the tires off for a pad change. To me it looks like the ball joints and tie rods look rough. Ive also heard of guys popping on some adjustable camber nut to fix the problem and sometimes have to to do a proper alignment. She’ll be on jacks tomorrow, but i wanted to know if anyone had this issue and could save me some time

 

The tires aren't worn down on the inside so it doesn't ride like that, I bet you backed up the truck just before that pic was taken.

 

i did, forgive me if i sound like an idiot but what does backing it up have to do with it?

 

It's a Ford.

 

These front ends do that when you back up, even if everything is fine. Pull forward and recheck, bet it's fine.

The adjustable caster/camber bushings are useful but not a fix for worn parts. They mostly are used with lifts.

 

just pulled forward and sure as ***** it worked. Ive owned multiple 9th gen fords and have never noticed this. Appreciate the info!

 

I believe it’s due to the alignment and toe in on the tires, when you back up it kinda “pulls” the tires apart

 

that is a trait of IFS. if you have a solid front axle, it does not do it.

A newer F-150 with “A” arm independent front suspension doesn’t do that so….
