Recently we have replaced the rack an pinion and lower ball joints. The uppers looked fine. But my tires are bowed out still. It has a torsion twist and body lift, 33x12.50 mickey thompson baja claws. If you look at it from the front it looks like a vw bug from the backside. Any answers would be nice I'm already gonna have to replace the front tires from the horrible wear.

Are you sure the uppers are fine, or do they look fine? Are they original, or when last replaced?
 






Can uppers cause the bowing out problem? How much are they
 












You also need to install camber adjuster shims and bolts, or, pay the alignment shop to to this. As mentioned, the upper ball joints, and hubs, are suspect.
