What does your tire wear look like? Tire pressures? Alignment? Those would be the first things I would investigate.

There is slightly more wear on the inner right tire. The lower control bushing looks a little worn. Could this cause it. I recently changed the right tie rod ,the uppewrcontrol bushings on both sides, the sway bar bushings, and both front shocks.

If you changed all of those parts you need to get an alignment for sure... that's probably your issue.

I took a small carpenters laser i use. I leveled it and it looks like my drivers side tire leans outward while the passengers side tire leans inward. And help on adjustment

Take it to a good alignment shop or the dealer and have it aligned correctly.

Thanks All. I was hoping it would be a simple adjustment, but
It is probably a job for a professional with equipment.

check tire pressure. if that doesnt help, swap tires side to side.

but if you replaced them parts, get it aligned.

any shop w/ a good(Hunter, for one) laser alignment machine should be able to do it.

I just got mine done for $69.95, out the door took 30 minutes.
