thats called a tie rod bro....and that one is really bent, should be able to get one no prob either here or fleabay
yeah..... thanks man.... btw.... i just wanna make sure..... my wheel is cocked inward.... on like a 75 degree angle and thats happened before.... and last time it was a bent spindle.... is there anything else it could be so i dont buy the wrong part?
but its the other side thats got the bent wheel..... and i checked that tie rod... straight as a string
w8.... i dont follow.. one side has a bent tie rod.... the opposite side has something else bent... i think its the spindle... the side that has the fine, straight tie rod has the tilted wheel
i can try to get more pics tomorrow... bec its l8 and all i have is a phone.... but it looks bent no matter which way i turn the handlebars.... but it looks less bent when i turn the bars to the right... but its still noticeably bent
I think I'd start pulling things apart. Very well looks like the top leg of the left spindle may be stretched. Not that uncommon, to a lesser extent. Many of the used spindles I buy have this problem. That would cause your massive camber. If you had a pic of the spindle alone I could tell for sure.

i would just pull things apart but i dont have any time to.... is it possible to get u a better pic without taking everything apart??
Get some closer up shots and hold the phone still so they aren't do blurred. It looks like the top left a-arm might be bent in the 3rd pic.
