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?

If you are really concerned about it, you could have the axle straightened

No Bill it's the " You have a badly worn ball joint. A lot of us just drive
it, like
it's not going any place like when the Libby's joint fails and the wheel
falls off:"
know it all bull----- responses that get me every time. How the f... do
you know he's got a badly worn ball joint? I think it's helpfull in the
newsgroup when people suggest possible problems and possible solutions, but
I think it's ignorant and arrogant when people like you get on and give
somebody, that may not have much knowledge or experience and is relying on
this group for some sound advise and information, some absolute affirmative
about what there problem is with no basis in fact.

No Bill, http://Steve-Garner.com/ is not my Daddy, that's me. Is this more
of your attempts to bolster your own self-confidence by illustrating that
you know how to do some rudimentary searches on the Web? Wow Bill, very
talented. Are you feeling a little better about yourself now?

Geez................chill out. This is a group of individuals - read & reply
to what ever you enjoy.........if you don't like something - reply in a
civilized manor or ignore it. Flying off the handle like this is not healthy
for you & is not a contribution to the group.
