Umm yeah so remember earlier how I mentioned that I was lost control a bit on the wet road today turning onto my street. Well I completely fucked my alignment and camber. Just went to walmart and holy crap! You could hear how messed up my camber was just driving down the road. Now instead of enjoying my day off thurdsday, I gotta go and get this fixed. Guess i'm not finishing my calipers until friday now.... pissed as fuck.
Not good, real worried I bent my tie rod on the right side. I got carried away sliding around on the wet road and lost control. Hoping it's just an alignment that'll fix everything
I'm gonna have to wait until Thursday. I have duty tomorrow, I'll be stuck at work for 24hrs straight.
Okay so I took some pics real quick of both the drivers side and passenger side. Nothing looks out of the norm. I took a look at the tire with my headlamp, now it doesn't look as if the camber is off, I don't know why it looked that way at walmart and now in these pictures it looks normal.

I don't believe so, I tried to put the steering wheel in the position that was driving my truck straight when i was going to Walmart. If it was turned though for that picture, what does that mean then if my wheel is canted like that while the steering wheel is being turned?
Edit: You are referring to the first two pics I took at Walmart right?

Watch for leaks from the steering rack in the near future...sometimes a curb hit can mess up the rack.
Okay so I've taken a look at the wheels again. Camber is off, but not too much. Alignment seems to be what got messed up the most. I've gotta do an oil change this weekend and tire rotation so I'll take a look then to see if I can spot any leaks starting from the steering rack Darkrider

Could all be just alignment though. Knocked my alignment out of whack on a crater in the highway a few years ago (and broke my passenger trailing arm in the process) but an alignment fixed it up just fine. My steering wheel was canted to the side like that.
I was worried about that happening when I was on leave a month ago driving to NY. The highways in Jersey and NY are littered with potholes. The highway is all best up too from years on non-stop construction. Some parts of the highway are still being worked on from when I was 8yrs old and I first moved up there. I'm almost 23 now and it's still underway lol.
Pretty much dude [emoji38] I'm so glad the highways down here in the south aren't best up like the north. Much more enjoyable ride.
