You gotta stand about 3-4 feet from the headlight at a 45° angle and look down the body. From any other angle the wheels are straight up but from that angle they look as if the top of the wheel points inward. Strange...is it just [i]my[/i] eyes?

Monsta - It's gotta' be your eyes ... we're all getting older. Park it on level ground and hold a level or a degree-wheel-type level against the rim (not against the tire) to check it. Again, you'll most likely find it's your eyes. If not, you got a front-end alignment due. So, wallet-wise, you better hope it's your eyes.

I'm quite sure it's my eyes but do your eyes play the same trick??

I don't see how an out of alignment front-end could make the rear wheels look like that, either. Not that that is the case anyway...

The REAR wheels look like their camber is off? It has to be an optical illusion, other wise you have a serious problem.

Monsta--I gotta ask Why were you standing 4 feet from your headlights at a 45 degree angle looking at your tires??? X addiction can be a crippling illness...be careful. I knew I was on the edge when my wife told me everytime she asked one of the kids where I was they told her to look under dad's truck!

I can't take my eyes off of it!

Ya know...I just gotta snap a picture and see if it comes out. I can't believe I'm the only one....
