It doesnt appear to be bent.As far as camber I have no idea. It could very well be. I will say that the tires I took off of it were worn very evenly. That axle is pressed together? Correct? Its almost like it was assembled worng. It doesnt apear to have ever been wrecked either. It drives great tho.

First I put both at 15.5. Used straps and pulled like crap and made it work. Drove like crap. So I took it apart. Set the caster at 3-4 degrees positve off of the driver side UCA and the took the pass side UCA and adj it titll the bolt went thru. Roughly 16.25 inches. It drives so much better. Wheelbase is exactly the same. Toe is good. Caster is good and center is good. Could that have come from factory like that?

Just did all this. Did an alignment at home with info I got off here. Gonna take it to alignment shop very soon. I would like to change wheel bearings and ball joint s first. Funds are a lil low tho. Im just ready to move on to next phase.

Can't remember for sure, but aren't there shims for the lower control arms? Maybe some are missing or installed in the wrong place. That might make the uppers "off". Just a thought.

Nvm seems like you do have aftermarket ones you stated. Hell if the pinion angle is good and rides good, it doesn't matter the length. But also what LCAs you have?
