please help!
I have a 2002 ranger xlt it sits unevenly and the passenger side tire apparently can't be aligned it's started to wear on the inner part of the tire to it pulls to the right . All ball joints and control arms are good And the front struts are brand new

Alignment place needs to install the adjusters they don't come installed from the factory, Drivers side may have them but usually not passenger side
Kit for both front wheels seen here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-1998-2006-Ford-Ranger-Alignment-Caster-Camber-Kit-Dorman-81322TG-2001-2000/392125535935?epid=7023828122&hash=item5b4c80d6bf%3 Ag%3AyqQAAOSwgeRbnz0o&fits=Year%3A2002%7CModel%3AR anger%7CMake%3AFord Local autoparts store should sell these, Dorman parts You need 2 of the "pins" for each wheel, so 4 total to do both sides Diagram of where they install: https://www.alignmentspecs.com/images/adjust/24.gif What they do seen here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...ams/Camber.gif Above has nothing to do with vehicle not being level Do you have a history on the truck? Has it been in an accident? Frame could be bent |
The truck was in an accident but only had some fender damage and a bent tire rod . Every panel seems to line up fine, but I'm no professional perhaps I can test it in many other ways.any other possibilities? If the frame is bent would it be possible to align the driver side wheel? Bent rim?

Did it sit level BEFORE the accident?
If it did then frame is bent now, the frame can get torqued, bent, from the weight of the engine and transmission continuing to move in a straight line when vehicle suddenly stops or is pushed sideways The sudden movement is what does it Yes, front wheels can be aligned if the A-frames and their mounting points are OK, and you install the above parts Bent rim won't work 4-wheel alignment may not be possible with bent frame Frames can be straighten if damage is not too bad, they use a laser to check the four corners of the frame and then use chains and jacks to torque it in the opposite direction to straighten it |
