could it be worn ball joints?

[blh0007]

Hey guys,
i have a 94 4x4 ranger with a dana 35 front axle... when i jack up the front end to take a tire off or something, the top of the wheel pushed out and the bottom pushes in as if the camber is changing. I do place the jack under the axle so since the weight of the truck is still on the spring this is not the suspension flexing. is this normal or do i need to look into fixing something?.... it does it on both passenger and driver sides. thanks

Jacking up a TTB front end will always cause a massive change in camber. You can check your ball joints when you have it jacked up by grabbing the tire at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions and trying to rock the wheel in and out.
