Default 95 RRC LWB Ball Joints?

I noticed last night the the right front tire on the vehicle was pointing straight ahead while the left one turned slightly left.

Is this a sign of bad ball joints? A lot of the front suspension is new, with the exception of the ball joints.

Your balljoints on the rear tierod are brand spankin new. I bet whoever did them didnt adjust toe properly. In other words, you need an alignment.

x2!!! Yes, in other words, if you don't wanna go through tires as much as Carter's got pills, get that aligned for like $50 at a Belletire or wherever. I have an alignment book with specs for our trucks and just about every car and truck on the road. So when you get that aligned, post up the sheet with the caster, camber, toe, thrust angle, etc. and I can see if it is in spec.

Thanks guys. I tend to jump to complicated conclusions/soloutions.
