What did I bend?

Something looks seriously hurt. I'd be leary about aligning it back to spec (if you can) and just forgetting about it. Hard to tell with cell phone pictures but the spindle is probably the easiest thing to bend, and they look tweaked.
Back before 1980, car makers used to provide specs for SAI and the included angle. An old timer back in the 80's showed me how you could pinpoint what was bent using SAI and included angle....but you have to have the specs.

 

My buddy was leading me and a few other vehicles and we were going too fast through fish creek wash and he hit a 8-12in drop at 45-50mph and it looked like the hulk punch his splash guard on his TRD off road. His headlights had cracked mounts too, thankfully nothing else beyond everything in his backseat went to the front seat LOL

 

What others said about your driver side CV boot leaking. Is that the ECGS bushing in it or the stock needle bearing? Just curious on that one.

I hit a 4 ft deep washout at maybe 25mph. My driver side wheel hub, cv axle, and inner needle bearing all failed at once. It was driveable, but I had over 1/2 inch play up, and 1/2 inch play down at the inner bearing. Maybe over 1/2 inch, just flopping about but no impact on wheel alignment appearance.

Oddly, nothing else tweaked like yours looks. Once my parts were changed out, only a standard alignment was needed. Without being able to crawl under and look it is hard to tell from just the pics.

A quality alignment shop should be able to tell quickly from an inspection what parts are affected. Not rocket science when there is that much odd physical appearance on the wheels. You need to find a better shop.

 

I’m calling bullshit without photos, a four foot washout is no joke and would have destroyed a lot more than what you mentioned.

 

Yeah, could have used a new jaw, just about broke it clamping down so hard. My stock skid was wiped clean, now I have the pro skid because of that. What a noise when I hit, like the truck exploded. Truck came to a full stop. Only some other damage to the driver side front bumper that I bondo’d and painted over.

i had already driven through 20 of those in 1st gear in just the previous few miles. Old deactivated FSR.

That light grey colored gravel trail where with bright sun it is hard to see the washouts until you are a truck length or two away. Took my eye off the trail for a bit to enjoy the view and missed seeing the next one.

I was expecting a lot more damage and was sure it was not driveable. The alignment shop had never seen a cv axle with much play in it. It was a wobbly ride out for sure.

how nuch damage you get depends on the angle you hit and the angle in and out of the washout.

I am offroad 30 or more times per year for the last 35 years now. First time I ever hit one like that. Never too late to learn a lesson. Too stressed out at the time to start taking photos for others benefit.

Like my 16 year career commercial salmon fishing the entire BC coastline. When the seas were 30 foot high, taking pictures was the last thing on our minds….

 

makes sense and glad you’re okay. I relate with the not taking photos and living in the moment. Man wild and hope the truck is back to normal!

 

.................

 

It is going back into the shop again, just waiting on parts. ECGS bushing this time, needle bearing gone again. The truck gets driven hard throughout BC, on solo remote trips every time. Too many washboard and pothole roads. It is beating me up more than the truck.

Driving this kind of shit on most trips. Gotta find the lakes no one else fishes.

 

oh wow I get it now, damn that’s super unpredictable

 

I am just glad it was not this one.

So many of these roads where I fish. It is tiring to drive 30 of these one way, and then the same 30 back home just for a single day fishing trip. What can I say, I love solitude.

lot steeper than it looks. Have to stop at the bottom of each of these to measure and make sure I don’t get wedged with front and back bumper hooked up at the same time.

 

Pictures of the lca cams? If either of them are straight up or down then it's likely that just the cams shifted. Adjusting those should pull the toe back closer to alignment. I hear it's not uncommon for them to shift. I saw a company that made octagonal ones to prevent this.

 

My money on benty bois

 

Speaking of bent spindles, I gotta reinforce mine u.u

 

OP. Yes. Post pics of the cam bolts. Good call. Don’t need an alignment. We can figure this from pics of those.

My money on rotated bois.

 

Don’t you think “alignment shop” would have tackled the job if it was just the cam bolts. I think they inspect cam bolts after all reds, observed they were within the lines and said “f*ck this” lmao

 

You’d think. But the alignment shop seemed to just say uhh…it’s busted go away. Based on toe only. They didn’t even try to adjust anything.

If they would have at least tried, looked at the best numbers they could get then I’m with you. Bent bois. But without even trying. If they looked at something, saw it was bent, and then didn’t bother to tell OP that’s even worse.

 

Yup, it’s gonna be either cammie bois or benty bois. We are lacking of images by op. Cheers!

 

I hope cams since that’s easy. I guess we wait now.

 

Specially if you’re in the west. Nightmare if you’re in the east lol
