Default possible problem?

hey guys, ive been in search for a new vehicle and ive always loved 4wheel drive, i found this truck, but there seems to be a problem with the front rt tire/wheel, looks from the picture the the left may have the problem as well but not as severe if at all. please tell me if this is a serious problem or could be a serious problem, and how much would it cost to fix something like that, ballpark figure.:dunno:

here a the rest of the pics i hav of it...








for $3000 possibly less, for this '99 with about 160,000 miles on it would it be worth it for this truck, or do u guys think this is a big problem, bc i only hav $3000, i would hav to drive it like that for a little while until i can make some more money. i need a vehicle to get a job and i need a job to get a car.... **** between a rock and a hard place lol...

Test drive it if you can. If it runs good, idles fine, etc. I'd say get it. By the looks of it you will need to replace the idler and pitman arms, as well as maybe the upper ball joint on the right side. See if you can find out what they hit...

I would buy it then. I think it could be fixed for $150-200 in parts. But test drive it first thing.
