camber problem

ive got a 99 f150 4x4 with a 6'' superlift and 3'' body ive had problems getting the camber right on the drivers side ive replaced everything except for the hub assembly and lift spindle including all new ball joints and poly lower control arm bushings on both sides. I just bought new tires and i can see the wear marks where the have been on the road and the passenger side is perfect road contact is right in the center of the tire but the drivers side is very close but is still wearing slightly on the inside. what does this sound like to you guys a bent spindle? the hubs had no slack or play in the bearings that i could tell but its the only thing i havent changed. thanks

do you already have camber bolts in the front? (IDK if they make them for 4wd or not)

you are getting inner tire wear on one side only? any vibrations? hows the rest of the front end (tie rods, pitman, idler)

Its not too uncommon for the 4wds to loose a hub, i just dont know how it effects alignment unless like you said the wheel bearings are flattened

yes only on the drivers side its not by much but i dont want premature wear on the expensive tires. all the parts are new idler pitman arm, all ball joints, tie rods ,even ps gear box, bushings everything but the hubs or spindle have been replaced.

they have knuckles, same basic concept just has an axle passing through it instead of affixed to it
