What could be causing this?

It's actually worse than it looks in the picture. I'm on Sportlines, the other side doesn't look like this. Worn balljoint? Bent tie rod?

It could be a number of things. What are your toe in and camber specs set at?

Sway bar end link is a good possibility. My left front tire leaned inward at the top. I changed out the sway bar end link with a new moog one (did both sides at the same time) and it fixed the problem...tire is straight.

I don't know what the specs are, I haven't changed anything since I bought it. I'm thinking it was never aligned after the drop.


I just replaced both the front swaybar links with Ford parts... I'm wondering if I didn't break one again. Does lowering put more stress on them? May be a good excuse for me to upgrade to the greasable Moogs.

Yeah, lowering a car will typically put more stress on components.

But I'd recommend having it aligned if your not sure. Or ask Brian if he ever did and if he knows the specs at all...

well being that the front has no camber,or caster adjustments id say, a broke spring, a bent strut or stewbid e-bay coil over conversion. 8)
