I have a similar issue with my XJ. When the rig is driven forward, the front wheels look good. However, when driven in reverse the wheels tilt in like seen in your pictures. I have checked everything and cannot find a solution.

When you are doing the hub put one of the twelve point bolts back in a little bit and put a socket on it and hit it with a big hammer and they coneoff easy

Your caster could be way to far forward which will also cause your camber to be off because of the way the knuckles are rotated.

If you aren't familiar with front end alignments then you might take it into a shop and have it checked. They also will go through all the components and make sure they are ok.

You steering angles also look pretty steep. You might look into upgrading your steering and track bar soon.

Agreed.

I had the same tilt on my driver side front tire. Go get an alignment and probably one of the steering bars mine had a bent trac- bar

i don't think a bent track bar would put angle on the tires/hub would it? all a track bar does is keep it centered under the vehicle, if it was bent wouldn't one side be sticking out more than the other? hmmm
