what in the world is wrong with this axle?

[02x72]

A few months ago my brother bought a 94 F250 with a Dana 50 up front. Few weeks ago when he was leaving my place I noticed that the passenger side tire has a severe lean in at the top when he goes in reverse. Go forward and it straightens back up. When in the air, there is no excessive play in the wheel. Bearings are new, along with new upper and lower ball joints. Piviot bushings are a little worn, but I have seen much worse ones. Either way those are next. So what should I look for? Did a search and diddnt come up with much

Welcome to the TTB.
I have replaced every wear item in my TTB front suspension including polyurethane leaf spring and pivot bushings. It does the same thing. Just not as bad as when it was worn out.

the only way to fix it once and for all is to swap it out for a dana 60!

Yep.... if you do a search on user 4x4TruckinGirl, she has a pic posted of her truck, and it was backed in where the pic was taken. The front tires look like they are pointing at each other....

Sam no longer has that truck.... but when the pic was posted, there were several "whats wrong with that truck" questions.....

Here is the thread I was talking about.... if you look at the first pic in the first post you will see what I am talking about....
