WHAT BROKE?

So, you're saying a couple guys have looked at it, and can't see anything wrong with it?
Time to let a woman look at it......

I'll see my way out.......


Seriously though, Sometimes it takes someone NOT knowing what to look at at, to see the problem.

 

I would bet at the very least spindle is toast. This was mine after hitting a deer, nothing "looked" broken when you glanced at the suspension but spindle was slightly bent.

 

Sub’d purely for entertainment

 

LCA spindle frame perhaps

 

At this point I’m starting to believe is more than one component that’s damaged the boot is leaking grease cause I ripped it open to feel/see if it was broken

 

I think the kings and tc uca's are toast. Send them to me and I'll dispose of them.

 

The lower ball joint and the tie rod both look to be way off. If I had to guess, I would say the lower control arm is bent.

 

It would've ripped if it were broken. You just cost yourself more repairs.

My guess is spindle and upper control arm.

 

I've turned big rocks into lil rocks but that was because the government said I had to

 

It's those wheels that are the culprit. I can get rid of those for you

 

As I mentioned early on, That spindle it’s fucked. Compare the sway link angle on ps to ds.

 

I have seen uniballs fail and many spindles messed up but I have never seen an LCA or UCA bent from trail damage.

 

You been sending it…

 

Where is the steering wheel pointed? And what’s the other tie rod look like?

LBJ is for sure fucked. You can easily see the angle is not right. Tie rod end looks iffy too. I’d suspect there’s more damage as well - spindle, rack, possible UCA…

Personally, I’d get it up on stands and start taking everything apart to assess the situation. This is doesn’t look like the type of thing where you’ll know the full extent until it’s all taken apart.

 

Did you see any wildlife at time of incident by chance?

 

Someting wong

is that a reflection? Or hole?

 

The steering sitting perfectly centered here’s a shot from the front of the truck

 

Enjoy the weekend fellas!

 

That’s just the shiny uniball on the uca

 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
