I have a 1993 ford f150 4x4 and I have a negative camber problem. I have checked all ball joints they are still good. I have new springs in it. I do have 33/12.50/15 tires on it could that cause my problem? my truck is not lifted it is at stock height. what could cause this?

 

I beam bushings where they connect to the frame could be worn, if they aren't just get a front end alignment, they make camber eccentrics that replace the stock ones that are adjustable. They bolt in at the upper ball joint.

The weird thing is sometime the tires look straight but most of the time they look like this /\ why does it change

 

If you back the truck and stop, it will do that. I have no idea why but pull the truck forward and stop and it looks normal.

If your not wearing tires don't worry bout it.

also how do you check the I beam bushings?

 

no my tires are wearing but they are wearing in the outside. shouldn't they be wearing on the inside with negative camber?

 

You look at them and see if they are metal to metal, you can also use a pry bar to see if there is any play in them.

As for the outside wear, that is likely caused by excessive toe-in.

ok I will get my truck up to my buddies shop as soon as I can and get an alignment and I will get back to you with what I find out... it might take me a couple of days

 

can you send me a picture of where the i beam is? i don't know to much about these trucks? its my first one...

 

There is nothing you can do with your limited knowledge, let your friend guide you.

The I-Beam attaches your front wheels to the frame of the truck.
