Bent Strut?
1997 Mustanf GT, Ford Racing Springs lowered in front 1.5 inches.
Would a bent strut cause cupping of the inside of the tire and how do I check that the strut is bent?? ( And also transfer over to the other front tire inside cupping? Please help. |

Visually inspect the strut. I would disassemble that side of the front suspension and check all the components individually. Check all your bushings as well.

I have also noticed that somethings sems foul with the top of the strut mount. It appears to of a different angle than the other side, my thinking would be to maybe tighten down the nut more?? would that cause damage and will it pull my inside tire more into proper camber??

Just take it all apart and inspect it. Tightening the nut isn't going to solve your problem if you have a bent strut or a bad control arm bushing. You should also pick up a set of caster/camber plates to correct your alignment AFTER you figure out what the problem is.
