Default Possible camber problem??

I have a 1996 Blazer 4x4. Recently I have noticed my front tires tilting a little inward (top in). My tires are not wearing weird or anything and nothing feels off. Could this be a possible ball joint problem or is this supposed to be like this? Any help would be appreciated.

No it is not supposed to be like this-you have some issues starting.If you haven't noticed unusal tire wear,you probably have new tires! These units are known for their front suspension issues! A vehicle of that age may require a complete rebuild:from control arm bushings,ball joints to idler&pitman arms as well as a sway bar link kit-can't rule out tie rod ends either! $ yes! safety-yes! Peace of mind:YES! Look in to this soon! Espescially if you plan on keeping or driving this car!

and if u dont have the ability to replace all of that, because it isnt cheap, u could try and crank ur torsion bars a lil. itl stiffen ur ride a lil bit, and its more of a "quick-fix" but itl help until u can inspect ur front end for wear.

Default Try this.

Clear the front wheels by lifting from the frame so both front wheels are just hanging (not making contact with the floor) and try to move by hand side to side and top to bottom and see if you feel any loss motion.
