Front wheels angle in? help!

[Msurfpro13]

i took my 1990 1500 2wd burb through the river the other day and hit a jump and now my front wheels are bent in wards. like this /---\ whats the cause?

Bent tie-rod, bad ball joints......

 

[Msurfpro13]

how much to replace?

 

[cegusman]

Depends on if you do the work yourself or not. If you plan to do it yourself call the auto parts store to get prices.

im gonna take it to a shop today, whats a general price for these?

 

[Msurfpro13]

im hoping less that 200

 

[Chaddy]

Its hard to say. You will most likely need an alignment and a new/used tie rod......probly around $200 at a shop....
And thats if you didnt ruin anything else....

alright, thanks guys ill let u know how it goes

Looks like those angles from the top, or back/front?

If you jumped a burb, with a stock front axle, it wouldnt' be that strange to bend the axle.

 

[Msurfpro13]

if you were looking at the front end standing outide facing the engine the tires would look like this /----\ they angle up. and its a-arms not solid front axle

Well, don't waste money on ball joints then.

It seems like every time I take my ifs truck into an alignment/suspension shop I can't get out for under $500 Stupid piece of crap front ends.
It's in pretty good shape now but no joke I probably could have done a SAS by now (with a 44 for sure and possibly a 60 if I found a good deal).
