Default wheel alignment causing front end clunking??

ok i made a post about a week ago or so titled "front end clunking ...please help" but since then i found another issue with what appears to be wheel alignment or front end suspension im not sure but ill do my best to explain it....if im parked and have the steering wheel cranked all the way to left my driver and passenger side wheels both point left in proper angles but if i crank the wheel all the way over to the right (passengers side of vehicle) my drivers side wheel is pointing right and the angle is fine, and the passenger side wheel points right alsobut it has anangle to it, im not sure if this would be known as a camber angle issue or if its a suspension issue or what but if your looking at the truck from the front the wheel looks like its leaning to its left (or away from the truck) when its at full turn, but when the steering wheel is straight or turned to the drivers side, the passenger side wheel doesnt havethat strange angle....thats probably confusing as hell but ill take a picture of it after work, has anyone every seen or experienced this problem? or is it even a problem? i thought this might be related to my clunking issue

jack up your tires on the front as your facing the rim from the out side shake the wheel side to side and look for any play in the tie rods and then shake it at the top and look for movement in the wheel bearings and ball joints there should be none
