Tire Leaning

[obfirefighter22]

hey im going to take my truck in and get it looked at in the next few days, but about 2 months ago my dad said it looked like my front passenger side wheel was pushed out(ex, top of tire/rim is pushed in towards wheel well and engine compartment, and the bottom is push out the opp way). well i didnt notice it and didnt really pay attention, but last night i notice it.. so i was wondering if any of you might know what may be causing it.. it hasnt affected the handling or anything.

 

Oh yeah i have a 2007 classic z71 with 6 inch lift

The first thing that come to mind is a ball joint.

Lifting adds camber. It's possible that the upper ball joint is going but I'd bet that it just wasn't aligned correctly when it was lifted or something is now bent.

 

Edit: Depending on how it was lifted... I have seen some cheap spindles actually bend over time after being driven. Some of the castings used in "lift kits" are junk. You might wanna jack up that corner of the truck and see if there is any additional play in the ball joint or wheel bearing assy. I'd do it soon. It could be dangerous.

Yeah I'll look at it or get it checked tomorrow, it's been like that for months if my dad was correct. My lift was professionaly installed so I don't think of could be crappy work, but I won't rule that out.. Who knows, I'll let ya know what it ends up being

UNLESS you had it done at 4WheelParts. I've seen some crazy bad stuff come out of there. At any rate, I would get it checked out.
