Is it supposed to be like this? I need help!! Pics in side.
After racing thursday, and getting a lot of wheel hop, I noticed my alignment was off. I thought it was just the toe out. As you can see form teh pics, I have negative camber and MASSIVE toe out on both sides. I took the wheel off and couldnt find anythign bent or broken. The only thing that looked like a possibility was the Hub, because it has a part in the bend that gets fat. But I looked at my dad's 89 civic dx and his has the fat part in it too. The passenger side measured a little over 2" at the bend and the driver side was a little under 2". Mind you, the passenger side is much worse than the driver side right now. I'm gonna take it to an alignment shop wednesday to check it out and see if it can be aligned or not. Here's the pics form tonight...

Keep in mind that the wheel is in the same position in those gas station pics. The driver side wheel is pretty much straight and the passenger side sticks way the ---- out. What do you guys think may be wrong?
TIA!

Thats fucked man, I dont think I would be driving that car, thats a huge risk.
My first guess would be a broken tie rod, but you say it isnt. Smacked any curbs recently or did you just randomly notice it one day?
Something is wrong adn it wont fix itself but I honestly and Im all about driving unsafe ---- in a crunch, but I wouldnt be drivng that at all, does it squeel when you take turns and ----?

yea it squeels in turns. I've been driving the Jeep since this happened. It scares the ---- out of me. My hands cramp up while driving it now, because I have to hold the wheel so tight. I have never hit a curb. Radius rod is "fine". I'll find out for sure wednesday from a shop.

Everything was tight, so I just took it to an alignment shop and had them check it out. It had -1.36" of toe in teh right and .11" in teh left. My front camber is -1.4 degrees on both sides. It's handling a lot better now. I'm glad it was nothing serious.
