My truck has sat idle for almost two years. Just before that we had the ball bearings replaced. it might be worth noting that the truck was submerged almost to the top of the tires in salt water during hurricane Katrina (2005). Right now, both tires seem as if they are tilted inward at the top (see photo, both are doing the same thing). Its confusing me because they're both doing the same thing and it's independent suspension. My only guess is that both springs have given in. I appreciate any help that can be provided.

Thanks.

Are there any rust issues that you can see? As far as the tires, it looks like an alignment issue. There are three adjustable angles for alignment, caster, camber, and tow. Your camber needs to be adjusted from what I see. Have it checked for alignment and let me know what you find.
