Control Arms? Crooked tire
ok, i noticed today when bleeding out my coolant that i have a problem yet again....
When i turn the truck to the left, my left tire is cockeyed....the outside edge to the middle touch the ground, and half the tread is off the ground, but my right tire is on all the treads.
Turn the truck to the right, same thing with left tire, and right tire is flat on ground still....
When wheels are straight, both tires are flat on ground like they should be
I know i need an alignment, because striaght is about 10:30 on my wheel....could that cause this? Theres new ball joints, ties rods, and wheel bearings on both sides, replaced all at same time.
But i also noticed that my control arm bushing are dry cracked to nothing...look really bad.....could this cause my problem?
could my ujoints cause this? theres not THAt much play in them....all the c-clips are in place...ujoints are just worn out
Any help would be great.

Lol^. Your tires lean with the weight of the truck. As long as you have no play anywhere you're fine. My 4wheeler does this too, never really paid attention to the truck. How bout a pic of how it looks. I'll look at mine in the morning.
no i noticed it when bleeding my coolant system,i was standing out there smoking a butt waiting for it to warm up, and the wheel was all the way turned, and i saw half of the driver front tire not touching....
and i dont like it, its wearing out the outside edge of that one tire
