i just noticed my drivers side LCA is not straight, or parrallel like it should be....in is pulled towards my drivers side, which is why my drivers side wheel sticks out an inch more than passengers? how can i correct this, new tracbar?

Your control arms have nothing to do with centering the axle. That's all track bar. The lca mounts are weak and designed to fold in an accident. Weld new ones on.

You can leave it but keep an eye for cracks. I know first hand having one break is NOT FUN!
