my truck pulls to the right and the passenger side front tire is worn on the outside. i'm sure one or most of the front end bushings are gone but i was hoping that this would be a tell-tale sign of a particular one (and an easy one that i could tackle)
all other tires are wearing even. thanks

 

Just make sure it's not the wheel bearing or one day you may see your wheel coasting along side with you on the freeway. Jack up that side, grab the top and bottom of the wheel and wiggle to see if there's any play.

 

Assuming nothing worn like a ball stud, an alignment check should find. If camber is off excessivelly , offset joints are avalaible. I recomend very low toe setting for highway operation.

 

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Maybe it is a result of hitting a rock so hard that I cracked the frame where the steering box is bolted to it. I had the alinement checked, rotated the tires and will be watching the wear pattern. I am starting to save $
