    I have twice just to be told struts or rack bushings I just find it hard to believe the struts were shot at 50k miles and the front end doesn't float it's really hard to describe it wants to jerk the wheel and screech on bumps and turns

    Worn out struts aren't going to cause that kind of tire wear...

    No noises any long drawn out turns the inside of the tire drags just like the noise you'd hear locking the brakes up. I'm located in cooksville Tennessee if anyone lives in the area I've got cash for whomever can find the issue

    This is a maxtrac spindle... the owner that had the truck before you probably added some cheap one from ebay or Amazon.
    you could always go back to stock but then you might need a different lift do to tire size

    I'm curious if they are tight then, the hub assembly on the drivers side was loose after I purchased the truck, I snugged it up but if that was loose maybe the spindles are

    Op took the pics while he was changing the rack bushings. The tie rods weren't disconnected while driving obviously you can't steer without tie rods.

    Tie rods don't affect camber... I don't wanna sound douchey but honestly get the front end looked at by a pro.
