I see a truck parked in a parking space doing nothing. Try to be a bit more descriptive if you think there is a problem with that. Also very helpful if you make the title of your thread mean something.

Listing to the passenger side rear? That's common in trucks that have been in heavy hauling duty. The leaf springs get clapped out on that side of the rear axle due to the forces that cause axle wrap. If that's what it is, replacing both rear leafs fixes it just fine.

u were close champion. i apologize yall. once i looked at the picture it wasnt as clear when i took it earlier and uploaded it. u can see the rear tires are straight but if you can zoom in u can see the front tires are leaning (top of the tire facing out and bottom of tire facing inward) not sure what this is from. first thing i thought was maybe i need to get longer control arms but i figured id get some expert advice first. the tires dont vibrate when driving. theres no issue with wandering besides the fact im sure i need a new steering gear box. curious to know why the front end is **** eyed like that. its the same on both sides......

Are they turned slightly? Do you get uneven tire wear in front?

That's a camber problem. Which, unfortunately, isn't adjustable..... Check your balljoints, and see if they are sloppy.

I checked that a few weeks ago when I changed out my rear pinion seal. And there was no give on the tire at all.

Then possible something is bent.... Wouldn't hurt to take it in for an alignment, and see what they have to say.
