possible bent spindle

[bzettler83]

Went out last night for a little late night trail running and towards the end of the night must have hit something a little hard and threw the front alignment out of whack. I took it in to a local shop for an alignment and they mentioned I may have a bent spindle.

Currently the toe and camber is off. Both wheels are leaning in, and my passenger side turns to the right.

Anything I should look for, and where can I find an OEM Spindle for a decent price. I am taking it to a specialized shop tomorrow to find out more, but wouldn't mind tackling this myself.

Thank you.

Anything ever come of this? Anyone experience this?

Pretty sure I've bent my steering knuckle and a tie rod too.

If both wheels are pointing in, it's unlikely you have a bent spindle... Did the alignment shop do any actual work?

I don't think we are getting an answer on this one. Kind of curious to hear what the outcome was though.

Lol wow, didn't even notice the date.
