Over the past few months after I put my lift on, I've gotten my truck aligned 3 times.

Each time, they can never get my passenger front wheel aligned. The camber is off, I can visually see that the top of the tire is angled outwards further than the bottom. My tread is all worn on the outside, not on the inside.

Wheel works told me that my "inner" tie-rods are loose, and they cant align it perfectly.

I wouldnt think that the tie-rods would effect camber...i thought it was the toe that they controlled.

I know that I can grab the tire and wiggle it pretty good when the truck is parked.

I know this is a known problem. However, I dont know what the hell an INNER tie-rod is. I know the outers can be replaced quite easily...but, is it really the INNER ones that are loose and need replacement?

Help please, I dont feel like buying new tires.

the tie rods have nothing to do with camber, just toe, you probably have a worn ball joint/control arm bushing and they overlooked it

You think its an UPPER control arm problem then?

or lower, or ball joints
heres how to check them, jack the suspected front wheel off the ground by jacking on the lower control arm, not the frame or cross member and remove the wheel, next, shake the heck out of the upper and lower ball joints and control arms and see if there is any movement, a pry bar could help you see it

Interesting...!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that here soon.
