Did you look at both sides of all four cams? That would be my first guess, but I know you said you looked at them.

Without cam tab gussets, a hard hit will flatten a tab and mess up your alignment.

 

When I bought my last jeep the toe was so off you could hear the front tires scrub while driving straight. Tape fixed it

 

Yeah I checked all 4 tabs. Don't have gussets for them yet. Was going to pick up some LCA skids this coming month and they would help cover.

 

Tabs or cams? Cause there's 8 places you should be checking.

 

Don't know which is which, but I checked the front and back on the bolt that runs through the LCA. Neither looked to be moved

 

I'm still confused.

There's 2 cams per LCA. Both sides of each cam has tabs to hold them in place. So 4 sets of tabs per side.

 

Oh. So then I only checked 2 on each side. The front and back side of both arms. Not in the in-between portion. I'll have to run out to the truck and check them

 

So it doesn't appear that they marked the inner tabs on either LCA. So I don't know if they moved or not.

 

You're probably fine. Just wanted to make sure you checked both cams on each side.

It's unlikely the inner tabs would be affected if the outers hadn't moved.

 

I've seen 3 bent spindles post gusset. I've also seen racks shift.

 

Time to upgrade, @bot102 https://www.marlincrawler.com/suspension/rclt/rclt-hd

 

Like that'll ever be in stock.

 

good call

 

Might have to come for a visit then

 

I'll be pretty butthurt if I bent a gusseted spindle. I've seen how hard it is to find new/used one. Not for an arm and a leg

 

I will be impressed, because I am a seasoned spindle bender and I haven't bent my gusseted ones yet. Which side did you potentially hurt? I still have a good driver side.

 

Those poor cv boots won't stand a chance

 

Drivers side is where I took the hit

 

Well if you end up diagnosing a bent spindle to be the issue, I will only charge you an arm.

 

My steering wheel changes positions every time I wheel. Goes from 45 degrees right, back to straight and now it's 45 degrees left. I'm sure it's just my rack jumping teeth but I'm too lazy to care. The truck drives fine but it'll pull to one side a little.
