Default possible tie-rod problem

one of my front tires leans in at the top,out at the bottom. would this be a possible tie-rod issue? ? maybe needs a toe-in? thanks

First make sure your Stang is on flat ground and not on a hill or pothole whichcan mislead the eyeball alignment. Other than that, have it checked at by shop.

You need an alignment.

Take the car to a reputable shop to have this done.A shop that has the newest Hunter alignment machine is the one to use.
A car that shows signs of neglect likeyours could vey possibly need several parts to bring everything back into spec.

thanks for the info. that is some very useable material. just one of the tires has a lean to it. thats why i thought maybe a toe-in was all it might need. i guess i'll be going to the alignment shop. thanks

Toe in or out isn't your problem,it's thecamber that's out of spec.
