Bent suspension

Did you chop down the cherry tree?

 

Alignment specs from damage

 

I know spindle is bent, but lca and ball joint bracket i can't tell if it's bent could I get away with just spindle and outer tie rod

 

WTF? Why did they attempt to align a truck with an obvious bent knuckle? That’s a complete waste of time. Since the caster was actually good before they cranked on things, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s a 82% chance there’s nothing wrong with the LCA.

 

Just wanted to see where things are at, sometimes it helps find out what's wrong. Looking at the specs you think its just spindle and outer tie rod

 

If it were mine, I would only put a knuckle in it and see where things are at. Unless the tie rod end is visually bent or loose, I probably wouldn’t even replace that. However, the outer tie rod end is such a cheap part, if there’s any doubt, just replace it.

 

Replacing knuckles this week, also why steering wheel is off center, would knuckle fix that?

 

Yes. Anything that gets bent in the front suspension will screw up the toe in. You can see that in the “before” numbers on the printout. Then the guy cranked on the tie rods to set the toe in with the bent knuckle and it’s anybody’s guess what he did there.
