Camber adjustment?

My right front tire is wearing very bad on the outside. Its obvious enough you can tell the wheel is leaning out. Anybody know how to adjust this? I need to try and get it level before it eats a brand new set of tires.

They seem to be fine as far as I can tell. I hear no clunking or popping.

Depends if it is 2 or 4 wheel drive. 2 wheel drive you can buy after market eccentric bolts from NAPA. 4 wheel drive you have to shim the ball joint, and it's a PITA. But yes there is adjustment, just not a factory adjustment you can turn like tie rod ends. I would also do a through inspection of the suspension, a truck doesn't just "work" itself out of alignment that bad.

Thanks, maybe it is a ball joint. I need to put it on a lift and check them I guess. Its been like this for a while now and did pull to the right until I got new tires a couple months back.
