I have a 2002 Ford Ranger 4x4 stepside. When I go over some tracks or I hit a dip, sometimes,my truck has a tendency to ,squat ,and kind of veer to the right. A little scary sometimes. Just had new tires put on and they looked at front end. Said nothing looked wrong and gave it a alignment. The tires were wearing wrong. Looked like some of the tread was raising unevenly. Any ideas what could be wrong?:fie:
 
Where were the tires worn unevenly (inner tread, outer tread, etc.)? That can help us help you.

Sounds like either the camber or caster is off. Caster will cause a vehicle to pull, but out of spec camber will wear the tires unevenly.
 
innner tread was raised. Had alignment done. That should take care of the tire wear Right? I am more concern about the the way the truck,like swoops or kind of dives down,and shimmies to the right, when I go over the train tracks or a dip in the road. It doesn't do it all the time. Can be a little unnerving That still happens even after the alignment.

Thanks
