Default Castor/Camber

I replaced my stab bushings today...when I jacked up the front and put the stands in place I noticed that both front wheels were tipped inward on the top. Not sure if that is normal but every vehicle I owned previously did not tip that way...they always tip outward on top of the tire.

Is that Castor or camber problem or is there something more sinister wrong here?

Thanks

Darryl

It's normal. When the control arms move downward, the tires lean in at the top. Someone here had a handy dandy animation showing it, but I can't find it at the moment.
