leaning passenger side tire

[gmcman]

My passenger side front tire appears to be leaning out at the top more then the drivers side. My ball joints are good. The tubes appear straight when up on jackstands but when you stand back and look at the spindles the passenger side tips down from the knuckle out. Not sure if the spindle is supposed to stick straight out or slightly down. I checked the spindle on a lathe because I thought maybe it was bent but it was fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong??

Are you sure everything is assembled right? Could there be dirt or something preventing the spindle from attaching to the knuckle correctly? Is it possible that somebody put a camber kit in and now it's pointing the wrong way? I thought that you could mix up 10b and D44 knuckles and get a pretty severe change in camber. Have you taken it apart to look at things yet?

Could be simple, when is the last time you aligned it? IIRC after you align it you should have a slight amount of neg. camber (don't remember the degrees).

Yeah I took it apart so I could check things out. Going to look at everything today. Going to change all ball joints.I'll let you know if I find anything. Just thought I would ask to see if there was something I might be missing! Thanks guys!!!

Misadjusted wheel bearings could cause this.

But most of the time its from bad balljoints, and I suppose if you had one of the crazy offset balljoints on one side it could cause this too.
