Suspension on the front passenger side Saggin.

[ejpowerstroke97]

It looks like that side is saggin. Everytime I park and and look at the truck from the front it always looks like the bottom of that tire is kicked out and that side is always lower than the drivers side. Could it be that the coil spring is tired or is this normal. And if it is tired where could I find a replacement. I would just like my truck sit level parked and when driving. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for all of the questions. Thanks guys.

depending on the front end you have under your trk (2X4 or 4X4)... defective ball joints?

It is a 2x4. But I have my truck aligned regularly by a reputable alignment shop and they always tell me that my front end is in great shape. How do I check that my self?

I am not sure on the 2x4 but I know on the 4X4 (twin I-beam suspension) the center pivot bsuings go bad on that side since the arm is longer and then even with good ball joints the trucks body lines won't match and the bottom of the tire will kick out and eventually the outside half of the tire will never touch the road. Hope that helps.

just before the balljoints on my trk were c/o, the alignment tech brought me out in the shop where my trk was on the lift(zero weight on the front tires). he then showed me how the balljoints were worn by placing a long solid bar under the tire(s) and lifted up on the tire.

you could probably do the same. support the trk with jack-stands. not to say that you would not work safely, but safety is always priority.
good luck
