I was looking at my friends X earlier today and noticed the front wheels. Something is definitely not right about them. The left front seems fine, but the right front seems to have a little negative camber. On the way to see if we could find some mud we stopped to get some gas and it looked like his left tire was pointing straight alittle *wheels were turned a bit, just enough to see they're not pointing straight* but the right had a little more of a turn(?) to it, Any ideas what it could be? I'm thinkin maybe a tie rod?

What you were seeing is normal. When cornering the inside tire dosen't need to travel as far, so, in order to allow the vehicle to turn properly the inside tire must turn sharper than the outside tire.
 






Ok, so that would explain the toe in/out, what about the camber?
