Hi, ive tried to search this for months and haven't found anything on how to fix this. The camber on my drivers side frond tire is pushed in towards my truck from the top of the tire. the passenger side is fine. when took it into get aligned they told my father, who picked the vehicle up, that something needed to be replaced but he cant remember what it was :annoyed: they said it wasnt too much of a problem, as long as i rotated the tires regularly. What could the problem be? what do i need to replace? etc. its really not that big of a deal to me except it doesnt match the other side or throw mud onto the truck like the passenger side does.
thanks!

specs: 1991 ford ranger 2wd 2.3 engine short bed, single cab. 225/70r15 tires

ps: i want to install a 2" leveling kit eventually, so if that effects anything else now in the repair that would be smart to plan for, that would be great to know.

From the factory the camber is set and can't be changed without installing an adjustable slug on the upper ball joint. The ball joint itself can also go bad and cause this. Either of those may be what they were talking about.

A bad beam pivot bushing can cause that also.

Awesome! thanks for the replies guys! Now how would I go about finding out which of these would be my problem? Is it just process of elimination?
