I was driving my Dakota today and noticed the Ford Ranger next to me
had worn front tires(outer edge). I started paying atttention to the
Rangers and noticed 2 or 3 more in the next five minutes and all had
the same wear. Maybe this is just something trucks do, and all the
Dakota guys shouldnt worry to much unless its excessive (all the
ranger guys should get a Dakota) just an observation, and btw they
were all CC's

All Ford trucks previous to the 95 were Twin I beam, the only way to adjust
camber and caster on them was with a steel bushing inserted into the the
embossment around the upper ball joint stud on the I beam. EXPENSIVE to do.
so usually people don't worry about it, Rangers are really bad cause they
just put one std size bushing in them. Usually the owners just have a Toe
set, but that don't help too often. On the newer trucks they have a cam kit
like the Chevy trucks do
