3rd Generation uneven tire wear '94 camry

Hi forum,
My front tires are wearing thin on the inner edges. I believe the camber is off. If I view both tires from the front I can see that they almost have the same angular stance as a table chair. The only adjustable components are the tie rods for toe-in or out. After reading through the service manual, it states that if any caster, camber or steering axis inclination measurements are out of spec then I am to check for worn or damaged suspension components. My first thoughts were the ball joints may be worn as I've checked for bent components already. Has anyone had similar tire wear and if so, what remedied your situation? Thanks for all advise.
Troy

The best thing to do is get the alignment checked. Typically worn inner edges means the toe is out too far on both sides. Any shop that knows what theyre doing should check the tire pressures and check the front end before the alignment. If something is bent it will be easier to tell by looking at the alignment readings.

Check your tire pressure and maybe you need an alignment. I know for me I get uneven tire wear because my frame is bent.
