Bent front axle?

[Steven Lee]

I bought a 99 ram 4x4 and they guy hit a curb hard enough to break the wheel, I replaced the ball joints and ujoint on the passenger side, but the tire has noticable negative camber 2-3 degrees or so. I don't see any cracks or bending and it looks like the driver side mirror image

I know these trucks can get camber issues, but the other side is straight up

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Welcome to RamForum.

Have you pulled the wheel and brakes to inspect the hub?

First, thank you for the reply, I did discover that the knuckle is egged out where the ball joint goes, the hub is good, (I replaced the ujoints)

Is there equal distance between axle housing on both sides and the spring perches? specifically the back of where the upper ball joint goes and the spring perch

I can go get one at the yard and transfer the differential if need be, I just wish I would have looked when I was at the yard picking up parts, doh


thank you
