front wheels pidgen toed
i have an 89 with 31's no lift and from the front of the car you can tell that the front wheels are slanted a slight bit. the top of the tire are slightly pointed inward.
any suggestions about what was the cause and how it can be fixed?

it may be just an illusion. you have a fixed front axle, and for both sides to bend in at the top, is highly unlikely. i wouldn't worry about it.

Mine has the same type of camber (I believe it is positive camber when the top of the tire is in) -- just watch your tire wear and I wouldn't worry about it if it seems to drive fine -- it may be more noticeable now that you have 31's on it?

If its the top of the tire pointed inwards then Its probly ball joints but if the tires are pointed forwards then your steering lincage between the knuckles is probly bent.
