    Wearing outside of passenger and inside of driver steer is usually caster, or drives are pointing to the ditch. Caster can be adjusted with a shim, or by axle correction, but only on a solid axle truck. Some trucks have a hallow axle and there is no fix except rotating front tires constantly to keep up with the wear

    Start with replacing your shocks on the drives then get an alignment.
