After off roading not too long ago I let my truck sit in the same spot for about a month. When I was coming home the other day I noticed the tires where all bowed. The leak is from power steering I already found that. When I moved the truck up to my house so I can lift it and work on it it all looked normal again. I took the tires off and looked at the tie rods and they didn't look too bad. Any ideas? 76 f150 Dana 44 front 4x4

Camber on a straight axle truck = bent axle. Notice any wheel wobbling or feel anything through the steering wheel?

To be honest nothing really through the steering. The steering always had a little play but I just figured that's an old truck. But no wobble

I would just have the alignment checked then and call it a day.
