So I put my truck up on the lift today after weeks after an accident involving.. 2 curbs. My steering has been off, right wheel facing slightly to the right when the left wheel is straight, and after looking at the truck when each wheel is turned there were noticeable differences comparing the good and bad side. When the wheels are turned to the far right, the outer tie rod on the left side drops down with about an inch clearance from the frame with no contact. When the wheels are turned to the far left, the outer tie rod on the right (bad side) drops down and contacts the frame. Also, on the right side, the tie rod adjusting sleeve makes contact with the sway bar end link.

After taking a look at it on the lift, I found that the pitman arm is raised while the idler arm is lower. Almost looks bent downwards. Are the pitman arms bent lower than the idler arms for manufacture purposes? Or is my idler arm actually bent downwards? I just want to know if there are any major differences in the pitman/idler arms before I go ordering a new idler arm for no reason..
