My 1989 f-250 has the twin I beam and leafs up front and the suspension sags causing the front tires to kick out like a stadium truck. Is there a kit to fix this???

You can have it aligned and they will use a off set cam at upper ball joint to realign front end if it is not real bad, but the right way to fix it would be to replace the springs and then have it aligned. hope this helps.

Ok so I have a nissan versa 2016 model and my tires in rear were wearing on the inside of them so I got a rear end alignment done but I after that I have noticed another issue

Springs are sagging or suspension is bent. Could be worn bushings causing components to be out of position. Springs support the weight and the shocks dampen the bounce so he doesnt keep bouncing- if it does then you need shocks. The sagging indicates something else is wrong.

Can i raise the front staying with the same 17" wheel?

several ways
use a tire with a big profile number ( if example 195-25 r17 the 25 is the tire profile height by changing to a 195-95 r17 you lift the front of the vehicle almost 3") all 4 wheels have to be changed to maintain steering stability ( talk with a tire shop for best advice )
next method is to fit new and better springs to the front suspension as the existing springs could be sagged down or cut to lower the vehicle (Talk wit a suspension shop for best advice )

Rear Tires: Balding

if it has independent rear suspension then have the suspension rubbers checked and replace if necessary. Next for all wheel alignments it is essential that the rear end is aligned first to stop this tyre wear before the front wheels are aligned . IF you have leaf springs at the rear check for axle alignment and broken centre bolts or worn rubbers at the centre bolt mounts.

What makes the rear wheel lean inward on a 93 Buick regal?

Your rear springs are probably the cause. Over time the springs get weak and cause the rear to sag. If you have independent suspension, which the 93 does, it will cause the tires to lean in a little. This will also cause the tires to prematurely wear on the inside. I think that car has leaf springs not coil springs. Your shocks are probably shot also, but that would not make it sag, that would just make the car very bouncy.

I have a 99 explorer with torsion and the bottom of the tires tilt outward. I have replaced the outter tie rod, upper ball joints with arms lower ball joints and hub bearings. Any idea what else would...

Was an alignment performed with each part replacement? Yes, then don't worry about it. My 90 Bronco (Full Size) sat the same way even with a different suspension setup (Twin Traction Beams). The camber angle that is on these more capable vehicles is to provide better traction in off highway situations. The toe and caster angles are setup to minimize the tire wear even with the unusual stance.

There is alot of play in stearing wheel before the tires will turn

Hi Ems, Seems you're riding a death trap. Have a workshop check the tie rod ends (all four), the steering rod and link assembly (drag linkages), steering idler and steering box. While they're checking also ask them to inspect the ball joints and all suspension bushes. If the vehicle is fitted with a solid beam front axle and semi elliptical spring suspension (Leaf springs) get the kingpins inspected for wear. Sounds to me as if the work may be extensive. Regards John

My 1992 tornado trofeo back is lower then the front

Check your rear suspension. Load-leveling air suspension struts could be bad or leaking. Air suspension compressor could be inoperative. Air suspension compressor relay could be bad. Air lines from compressor to struts could be leaking, from cuts, cracks, or having rubbed through against the frame. Transverse leaf spring could be sagging.
And it's Toronado, not Tornado. Sacrilege!

Tires bow out

Fords with twin I beam suspension are known for having upper ball joint and lower ball joint issues. Not always worn but in need of adjustment. I see many of these similar vehicles in my shop. Aftermarket companies make a reasonably priced budging that is adjustable. Any reputable alignment shop will be able to install them and adjust the front end back to factory specs.
