Why is my front tire leaning?

Look how it's leaning. I checked everything to make sure nothing was bent. I didn't see anything.

Also the tire is ruined now.it has a ring around the sidewall

Seems like an aligment issue. Btw Nice envoy denali.

Yeah, camber is out of whack, which is likely caused by the lower control arm pushed inward. You'll need to get it aligned and hopefully it isn't out of whack from something being damaged.

Ok ill take it to get aligned and see what they say. I'm sure something may be damaged. I bought the truck like that. And thanks

It could have happened by a poorly done alignment where they didn't tighten down the bolts all the way so it shifted, or the previous person did a DIY lower bushing replacement and just bolted it on there without aligning it.

Also you might need a new tire before you go in for that aligment since it's worn done as much as you say. I can't really get a look at it but if the tread pattern is worn down on one side more then the other it will affect aligment.

Ok ill change the tire. That makes sense. It does seem to be worn on one side but I'll look again.
