Front end question

Hey guys,
Picked up another beater 86 truck. When I'm standing in front of it, looking at the wheels/tires, the passenger side tire is leaning in at the top and out at the bottom (like its bow-legged) What part of the suspension would cause this condition? I know the front end probably needs rebuilding, I was just curious as to what would cause the tire to lean. Thanks.

Re: Front end question

It's probably the upper control arm bushings. Crawl under it & take a hard look at everything. If it,s that far off it will be pretty obvious. The nuts holding the upper control arms may be loose & the shims have fallen out.
