Default front suspension

Ya hi I have a 94 f-150 4x4 and i was wondering if anybody else has the same problem i do. When i park in reverse my camber of the front tires are leaning in at the top. I was wondering if there was a fix for that. I have changed out my balljoints and shocks . It still does it. Im not sure if this is normal or what. If anybody has any experiance with this please let me know. thanks

Yes it's normal. When you drive straight and turn, the design is to lean the tire in at the top to keep the bottom of the tire to keep from rolling up on it's edge. It maintains a flat contact area when turning. Sometimes when you back up the forces are a little different and maybe more noticeable. Hope that helps.

If they lean in alot, front springs probably weak. Changed mine and brought camber almost to where it should be.
