Everything looks fine to me, but then again, I really don't know what to look for...

Uhhhh, what's your problem? Is there something wrong that you want us to resolve?

from the pics nothing looks bent, id run your hand along the tie rod and drag link to see if there are any rough spots from where it may have met a rock or two, those would be possible places that are bent.

If not, I would check your toe in and make the adjustments if needed for a 1/8 difference front to rear.

You arent really detailed as to what your problem is, but those are things to look at first.

I think your Kuhneutson Valve is leaking.

Oh, I'm sorry! This is in reference to the 'steering wheel cocked to the right after nailing rock" thread.

Its a defective Spitzer valve. Nothing a few 20 wt ball bearings woudn't fix.

Put your jeep up on jack-stands with the steering wheel straight, and adjust the pitman arm until the wheels point forward.

Edit. In this pic, the part that is right infront of the differential with 2 bolts on it is what you need to adjust. loosen these bolts (13 mm if I recall correctly) and then grab the sleeve in the middle with a pipe wrench and turn it until the wheels are straight.

You're screwed... looks like the end is bent to hell and you're going to have to replace everything....

Just kidding...

Hey, I have a problem with my computer... let me take a picture of it and you can tell me what's wrong with it? You're asking the same thing...

You need to look at the following... Everything on the front end! The control arms, the steering box and where it mounts to the frame. The tie rod and drag link (but unless you have an unmolested jeep to compare it to you are wasting your time). Fer cripes sake, you clobbered a rock and you're asking us to diagnose a problem over the internet!!!

2 things-

1- Check your toe very accurately. If you have a dimensional change in your tie rod/draglink from the rock impact, it will show up as a difference in the distance between the front tires.

2- If you toe in is still good, then it's pretty likely that your trackbar has a slight more amount of bend over the front diff than it should have.

Looking at your pics, the only thing I could see is that the draglink looks a bit flattened out from what I'm used to seeing. Could be the pics though.

The other reason I doubt that is that if it has been flattened out from an impact, that would turn the right side wheel more to the right and make your steering wheel over slightly to the left to compensate. You said it was clocked to the right, so that pretty much takes that scenario out of the picture.

In any event, nothing looks damaged enough to need replacment that's showing up in the pics. Just adjust the sleeve on the draglink to center the steering wheel and quit smacking into rocks.
