Drivers side tire tilted inward why

I notice today looking at my car after having a problem of the car shimming when hitting the gas or letting off at high speeds that the driver side tire is tilted inward top to bottom what could cause this. I have replaced the struts but the shimming was there before changing them. I wonder it the bushing in the lower control are worn? Or could it be a worn beering or shaft which i know is far fetched. The bottom part is titled in more then the top....

Have you slid into any curbs lately or struck something? What you are describing could be a bent steering knuckle or lower control arm. Send it to a reputable alignment shop and have them take a look. They should be able to tell you where problem is.

Thanks I was thinking it could be that becaue the alingment was off on day for no reason in the beginning of all this. I was chasing the problem with new tie rods,new struts ect. I will start there thanks..another thing i notice is a shift when driving for no reason causing the car to shift left or right for no reason which tells me control arm bushing.

Bushings are easy enough to see once truck is on a lift. Have alignment shop take a look at those also if you dont have access to a lift yourself.
