Front End Camber/bushings

What would cause the camber to go way out of whack after I back the truck up? If I back in to a spot, when I get out of the truck, the front wheels have a TERRIBLE camber (top pointing in). If I pull into a spot going forward, they are fine. I have looked under the truck and nothing LOOKS out of the ordinary for a 20 year old truck. I know I will have to change out some bushings, just need to know which ones. Thanks!

My '95 Bronco did this until I put in new axle pivot bushings and ball joints.
Now it doesn't.

E-series vans are prone to the same condition.

Yes, axle pivot bushings may help a bit with the appearance but it will still be there a little. There is only so much you are gonna do with that many moving parts under there.
