could be your alignment is off so much its effecting your camber as the wheels walk apart or closer together...one of my golf carts has thes issue and reverse they go the opposite angle as forward...

its a 4x4 straight alxe should not have camber adjustment

if a 2wd drive it will have camber

so is it a 2wd and 4wd drive dodge?

mine is a 4wd, i did just recently do all new tie rods/steering bars and all that but i matched them up to the old ones pretty well... could alignment have something to do with it? i can roll all of 10 ft while turning the wheel a 1/4 turn back and fourth and it will change from leaning in to out..

when my drivers side wheel bearing was going out i had it jacked up and i had my dad try to move it, it had just a small amount of play in it. But i could see the axle shaft moving with the hub assembly and my passenger side my balljoints are going out and i can tell cuz the whole knucle under the top joint moves not the shaft so. There might be some play but it might be very small

Negitive camber is when the top's tilt in towards the engine, positive camber is when the top's tilt out
