hey so recently i have noticed that my 2000 2wd dodge dakota had the tight rear tire sticking out more than the left, the left is flush while the right probably sticks out 2 inches. this is the same in the front, the front however is out of alignment and needs new balljoints, bushings, and tierods so i am doing that an i will check after. other than that i am not sure what could be wrong, there are no other visible signs of a bent frame or anything, like one tire is not closer to the fender than the other ect ect. any ideas or anyone with the same problem? im getting it on a lift soon and will take a look to see what i can see with the rear axle.

 

Are you using the original wheels? Are they all matched? Seems like maybe two of the wheels have different offset and you have them both on one side, instead of one end.

 

If you have a rear tire sticking out 2 inches further you got something out of whack. As far as the front goes, ball joints can make the camber look funny but as far as it sticking out real far i've never seen that. For sure its worth looking into...

 

They are not original, but they seem to match, how do I check the specs of the wheel rather than the tire? And sorry I meant 2-3cm not inches.

 

Just run it down to the alignment shop, most will check it out for free. They have all the tools necessary to make proper measurements.

 

If you have ball joint issues, most shops will recommend you to replace any worn parts before they do an alignment due to the fact that the parts having play in them will actually greatly effect the alignment.
