the truck is a 1994 dodge ram sport with the 360. 2 wheel drive. Just hit 121k. To be more specific, the front left tire is straight up and down, but the right front tire/wheel is slanted in at the top of it. Like camber but I don't remember t being like that. I also noticed my steering wheel now must be crooked in order to keep the truck driving straight. I don't think it was like that before. I have also noticed sloppy and difficulty steering. Thanks for any and all help with this issue.

 

welcome to DF. jack up that corner and grab the tire at 12 and 6 and rock it in/out. any movement is bad and is either wheel bearings or ball joints.

 

Ball joints.... control arm bushings.

+1 on jacking up and shaking. Look for any movement. Check tie rod ends as well. With that mileage, they are due.

 

So i just got a chance to jack up the front and take a closer look at the issue. There was no movement or play with the tire/wheel. However, I did notice that the bushing I believe that connects the lower control arm to the part that has the wheelbearong and studs etc had completely popped out and is sticking up several inches. This is obviously why my right front wheel is cocked in on the top. I am amazed how well the truck still drove considering the bushing was completely popped out of it's location. I guess my question is, is this a bushing, oris this a ball joint? It looks like a ball joint. Knave rep,aced a dew ball joint on other vehicles but never this truck.

 

Sorry, i have replaced a few ball joints on other vehicles but never on this truck. The one good thing is, that it won't be a pain is the a$& to press out.

 

Sorry, i am referring to where the control arm bolts up to the hub. I forgot what term to use there. Anyways, it's either a bushing or a ball joint(looks like a ball joint) where the control arm bolts to the top part of the hub. Any advice or connects are welcomed. Thanks to everyone for all the helpinthe past and the future with this issue.

 

Might be easier if you can take a picture and post it here.

 

there's a good thread in the DIY sticky section on 2WD ball joints. you do have to cut the factory rivets out of the old one's using a cutoff wheel or angle grinder or drill it out. all or some of the new one's bolt in.

i'll look for the thread.
here you go.
