Front tires wearing on inside

I have an '06 that I use for my work and have noticed that the front tires are wearing on the inside more than the outside. The truck has 100K Kms on it. I have also noticed an odd feeling when turning the wheel when stopped or moving slowly. I am familiar with control arm vehicles but don't know this one well.

On a normal vehicle, I would likely suspect tie rods but the truck tracks nice and stable on the highway. I would also look at lower ball joints but I think this has struts.

It does have ball joints and it is not uncommon for them to fail at 100K. Be sure to check them.

Thank you, John

Yeah, I figured that it must have ball joints but I thought that since it has struts, it shouldn't "lean" enough to wear the tires out. I will have them checkec though and thanks John.
