Drag link question

[68 Toadster]

If the drag link is bent about 2 inches from straight would that make the inside of the tires wear alot?
My fronts are BALD on the inside with only about 500 miles on them!
Will just straightening it solve the problem?
What happens when you have bad lower ball joints?
I was told that mine are bad by an alignment guy but I was told by someone who works on these cars alot that ball joints rarely wear out on the roadster.
Sorry I guess that was two questions. Just trying to do some front end straightening up without replacing $$$things unneccesarily.
Thanks, Todd-

I think the real question is, how much negitive camber do you have, and if you have about 1.5 degrees or less, how much toe out do you have. I had way to much toe out and killed my first set of tires rather quickly. I now have run lots of negitive camber (like 2.5 degress +) and that will wear out the insides quite quickly. My new Falkens that are a little over 1 month old and have about 2000 miles still look good however. I'd check your toe in/out to start with.
