The front end of my truck has a small case of Ford Front-end Syndrome (for those not familiar-top of the front tires angle inward). I have my torsion bars cranked and the keys have to many colors for me to tell which ones they are (I am assuming stock). Is this a nasty side effect, just a need for a toe adjustment, or is there another fix out there that won't damage my pocket book? Some days it looks worse than others. I don't know if it looks that way while on the road because I'm behind the other wheel and it doesn't seem to have any adverse handling problems.

"...I have my torsion bars cranked..."
That would be why.

Wouldn't being cranked have the opposite effect?

That's what I thought and that's why I'm confused as to why my front end looks that way, unless the guy that did it over adjusted.
Anyone else have the same issue with their torsion bars turned up? And the main question, how do I fix it?
If you're sure that's where you want them then you could try and see if they can align the camber back to about 0 degrees. There might not be enough adjustment. The upper control arms need to be adjusted out.

I did both my trucks 2X4 & 4X4 between 6-7 turns.After cranking up, the tops were out & bottom in (technical terms).Took straight to get aligned,looks nowmal afterwards.
