This is most likely a ball joint problem. If you can, jack that tire up in the air and see if you can move the whole tire in and out from the top. Try to see if there is movement in the ball joints while you move the tire. If that is not the problem, it could be a wheel bearing, but i would check the ball joints first. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: front wheels lean in at top

You should have the twin arm suspension. there's just a few things to check. inspect the pivot bushings on your lower torsion rods(from the axle back to the frame), check the upper and lower ball-joints. and last check the wheel bearings.

SOURCE: I have a 98 ford expedition thats running lean on

Is "pinning" actually PINGING?
Anyway, sound like a problem with the crossover pipe on the fuel rail. Not something that you should mess with. It is under great pressure. Take it to a decent mechanic... and stay clear of the dealership!!

SOURCE: i have 95 ford f150 my front wheels are leaning

Some lean can be normal, but if you are noticing it after owning the truck for awhile you are right to be concerned.

If you know how to check the balljoints, check them for excessive movement. Also look at your tierod ends. If it has been some time since you had an alignment now would be a good time to do it. The parts have to be tight to hold a good alignment.
Most places will do an estimate first before the repair. This will give you a chance to change out the parts you feel comfortable about and save a little money.

On my 2000 sierra the front passenger tire leans inward on the top n there is no brakes what can it all be

did you hit a curb or pot hole on that side? this can cause the leaning wheel. also if the camber shim or adjustment is loose will cause it also. no brakes sounds like a brake fluid leak if you talking about the same side or if its both sides it could be the master cylinder.

Does 98 Ford Expedition 2WD have a front end differential?

No, there is no need for a differential for wheels that are not drive wheels. Differentials are reserved for driven wheels. Front wheel drive cars have a differential packed inside the transaxle case.
