weshole Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Looks to me like you broke a tie rod end. Probably passenger outer. get it towed to a shop to have it replaced and realigned. And.... Replace the axle again. Edited April 18, 2012 by weshole Quote
RAGU408 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Posted April 18, 2012 yea im low on money so that's what im trying to avoid is going to a shop. i could probably have some one fix the tie rod end or the passenger outer but i know eventually ill have to go to a shop to get an realinged the funny thing is i just did an allingment in november of last year.

weshole Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 Typically, if it was the lower ball joint, it would be all cambered in at the top and kicked out at the bottom. This one appears to be just steering out but the wheel itslef is level vertically. But I have been wrong in the past. Def post pics. Quote
Pitbullx Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 get under the car and take pictures it could be the tie rod or the ball joint. the tie rod can be replaced in a couple of minutes with a pair of channel locks or a crecent and a socket.... easy as pie.... if its the balljoint the whole control arm may need to be replaced...eitherway post pics and I can tell you Quote Team Devastation Mixed Martial ArtsMachado Brazilian JiujitsuOnce I lock it on there's no escape I don't train to make you tap, I train to tear your arm, leg, or head off.
