a friend of mine with a 94 f150 was wheelin and slammed the front end hard..... the right front tire is cambered in about 20 degrees... nothing seems loose.... what are the most common parts that bend in this type of situation??

Fall off a cliff?

I'm just trying to imagine "slammed real hard" and "right side camber at -20*"


Geez. 20* is a hella lot. At 20*, theres some serious damage.

it is noticably cambered in at the top..... he also damaged the wheel on that corner too

pictures would help

angle of impact would help, drop, side, forward, etc :shrug

 

[NOBS!]

bent radius arm or bent ttb half,or something more sinister. Pics?

If so, bent axle beam.

Maybe a bent spring tower or TTB beam?

hmmm that pic does kinda look like how his is..... in at the top........from what I recall he was trying to get over an obstacle was having trouble so he gunned it over it.... caught some air and slammed down... but it didnt sound like more that 1-2 feet max.... someone told him that it takes jumping like 5 feet in the air, to bend a traction beam...... his truck is mostly stock... guess he might have to do that solid axle swap after all

Could get lucky. It might be the camber/caster nut. Could have damaged the spring. Another low cost option is ball joints could have failed. Check all these before replacing parts like the beam
