Front wheel massive angle
So I have done the fron ball joint and hubs recently, shocks a few months ago and now my front end sits like this... and I'm not sure if the front upper control arm bushings would have an effect like this. Or if I have another issue. I have don't the Good old woble test for the joint and checked the hub and they are good.
Any ideas?

Most often I've seen that issue from bad ball joints or hubs. Being that you've already replaced those and they are good, I would suspect control arm bushings too. I suppose it's also possible that you're way out of alignment- but it doesn't seem likely that it came out of alignment that much for no reason.
If you only tighten one torsion key it will only adjust the one side. I wouldn't recommend taking that route though, it will just throw everything out of alignment further if you adjust that. I would take it to a shop,point out the issue and ask for an alignment. If the issue is the bushings and not just a bad alignment- they will tell you that, and you can go from there
So stupid me. When the old bushings went they threw the control arm off angle. And when I installed the new ones, I didn't re check the angle after. So needless to say, after a little adjustment and some unwanted wear. She's straight and good again. Now to fix my pull to the left.

No not without hooking it up... but compared to what it was she looks straight lol... I got a bit of adjusting to do tomorrow when the rain stops. But I'm not too worried about having it dead on... as long as I don't kill my tires I'm happy
