Default tire wearing on the outside

My front drivers side tire is tilting out and wearing on the outside only. Last time I drove the car I heard a loud clunk when I put the truck in reverse. On the drive home the car seemed sluggish on turns. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Check your ball joints on the driver's side. Sounds like a ball joint has loosened up and is allowing the top of the tire to go out (upper ball joint) or bottom of the tire to come in (lower ball joint).
