    I'd get the ball joints checked out...probably need them on both sides though even if it just one side bad. If you're not sure how to check it, take it to most any tire store (or a Midas shop) and they will usually give a free estimate to repair. You can then find out exactly what you need.

    Sounds like the camber is out of adjustment. I've had that happen to one wheel already by hitting a pothole real hard.
