Are you sure it's not the other way, causing wear to the outside of
tire. I've bent them in the direction you say, but the bend is at the
differential housing.

Here's L.W. (Bill)again with his absolutely, know better than anyone,
without a doubt, you're an idiot, armchair diagnosis. How does he do it?

Let's suppose for a minute that he does actually know how to test a ball
joint. Most people with enough knowledge to set up the alignment equipment
and know what a camber reading is are usually smart enough to check the
frontend for looseness before strapping on the equipment. So, whether that
was Yellow Fever or his favourite mechanic, they're already way ahead of you
L.W.(Bill) ------ III. Having established that much, it doesn't matter
where the bend is along the tube, at the inboard end at the housing or the
outer end of the tube, if it's bending up you will lose camber. A half of
one degree is not enough that you will burn the edge of the tire off in
short order. If you rotate the tires a little more frequently you will
probably not notice the difference. Personally, I would strap down or
somehow anchor the outer end of the tube and put my floor jack under the
diff housing right at the entrance of the tube and take the bend out. If
you're not comfortable doing it yourself. any truck alignment shop can do
it, that's exactly how camber is adjusted on solid axles, bending the axle.

Steve did you read the Poster's reply? Now if you'd let him reply
to my questioning on the position of the bend, and suggesting the
opposite tire wear, then we could have gone from there. Have you bent
the tube at the end before?
