On my 95 I noticed my tires are leaning. I was thinking wheel bearings need to bee replaced. But my buddy who works at a body shop says it could be ball joints. Any Input?

Rusty but trusty

Need more info. Is it lifted? Are the tires wearing funny? Jack it up and check the ball joints for play and the wheel bearings for wear. Is the front end lower then normal? Shocks/springs could be worn and sagging.

Possibly ball joints, control arm bushings, alignment - one or a combinaion of all three if you are referring to the front tires.
Your local tire shop can check everything and do a repair estimate.
Or better yet, go to YouTube and search. You can learn how to check these items yourself. Save many $$$'s by doing the repairs yourself also.
You will obe able to do the alignment but the other items - yes.

I have a 4 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body. It does need an alignment but could it be causing the tires to sit at like a 20.

i attached a pic if it helps
(the wheel is also slightly turned)

Alignment is in order but,..... if you backed into your parking spot and took that pic then it is attributed to the geometry of the I-beam suspension.

Pull your truck a couple feet forward and stop. Now look again. I've done alignments for over 30 years and every single Ford with I-beam suspension was the same way, nothing loose, nothing worn out and every angle within specs and yet looking at it after backing the truck up resulted in the exact same negative looking camber.

Never figured it out other than it is the nature of the beast.

My truck had the same problem, I ended up just strait axeling my truck and ill never have that problem again. Be careful on it because you will get a pretty bad death wobble.
