Default Normal Spindle VS Bent Spindle



The one on the left is the bent one. I noticed that my passenger front tire was wearing on the inside, plus you could obviously tell that it had some negative camber on it. I took it to an alignment shop and they said that even with the camber adjustment all the way in, it still had -1.7 degrees of camber on the right.
So I took some comparison measurements with my other Camaro. There was obvious sign of the spindle being bent. I bought the other spindle off ebay for about $45. I havent had a chance to get it aligned but after putting the car back together and having the wheel on, it has a bit of positive camber now. I would assume it would since the adjustment was all the way in. So Im pretty sure itll be able to get properly aligned now.
I just wanted to post that pic so other people with similar problems could get some idea of what it looks like. I know bent spindles is pretty common among 4th gens.
