    Host the picture somewhere and hot-link into the forum. Or just provide a link to the picture where it's hosted.

    If you have a smart phone you can post a picture directly from it, if you have the photo size set small enough. Pic has to be smaller than 1MB.

    That may depend on the user's post count. Not sure if there is a policy.

    Well, maybe I can ask a general question. Has anyone seen the steering arms on the knuckles bent?

    I can't say I've seen a bent arm on a knuckle. They are cast steel and I suspect they would break or crack before they'd bend... unless heated. I'm sure someone else here more learned in metallurgy could be of more help than I.

    Keep in mind the arms on the knuckles where the tie rods mount are angled toward the wheel a bit (don't point straight forward)...if this is what you are seeing.

    Okay, guess I'll use what I have. It isn't broken.
