Is it normal for front wheels to tip in

I just noticed that the front wheels are leaning in (the top of the wheel is leaning inward) is that how there suppose to sit. Please let me know soon. It only looks like a degree or two.

They're supposed to lean in a little bit when the wheel is turned all the way to the left or right. It helps cornering and making u-turns.

I just got them aligned like a month ago. So its normal to have have them lean inward a little when the wheel is striaght.

make sure if you hit a curb recently that the front knuckle isnt broken between the two lower strut cross bolts, just above the brake rotor.

I noticed this too on my car...it does seem like the front wheels are angled in at the top more than the rear wheels. I'm going to be doing some work on the suspension soon and will be getting an alignment...I'll let you know what my specs are...before and after.

as long as the tires dont get an abnormal wear it should be fine
