I have noticed that my truck is developing some serious negative camber on the driver side tire. It is starting to where the tires bad. Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem? I am fairly good with tools and would like to just do the job myself I just don’t know what parts may need replacing and where to find them. If anyone has any ideas I would be greatful. Also if pictures would help I am more then happy to post.
 
Inspect all the front end parts -- especially balljoints and wheel bearings. Replace what you find bad.

If it's all good, check out axle pivot bushings.

If that's good, it's probably just spring sag -- confirm by measuring compressed length (put jackstands under the lower balljoints on both sides and measure the length with a tape measure). If they differ, you need to replace the springs.

Unfortunately, driver's side sag is likely on an old truck driven routinely with no passengers. Though it usually shows up in the leaf springs before the front coils.
