hi, I have a nf swb pajero. I went for a bit of a 4b this afternoon (mainly mud and deep puddles) and somehow I have bent something as now my tires are both pointing out a lot. I am going to put it up on the hoist and have a look, but if anyone has any advice on what to look for or how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Tom

id be checking ur castor of the front wheels, u may have bent a lower or upper control arm back and in a bit causing the hweels to kick out at the front, other than that im stumped, unless ur tie-rod end has stripped a bit of thread,

yeah mate my upper control arm might be a little bit bent on the passenger side, but nothing heaps noticeable. not sure yet. but the toe out is bad, like i cant go over 40k's without my tires squealing heaps bad. haha. thread looks sweet on my tie rod ends, good idea though

I'm actually in the same boat right now.
Same thing has happened to me. Haven't really had time to look hey haha.

My alt is playing up, Or something is cause it's not recharging -_-. So i'll be looking at that first.

It looks like the uprights are bent? but I had enough thread on my out tie rod ends to wind the toe in enough (just, haha). Yeah ive been through an alternator and now my stater motor has shit itself, haha i have to stop going through the deep puddles!

yer, my starter is a bit on the noisy side after loosing my gearbox inspection plate while in mushy clay, also caked the bell housing full of mud so my throwout bearing wouldnt let the clutch disengage, was like keeping ur foot on the clutch pedal lol, so i think il sikaflex the bastard on this time haha, and il lube up the starter again

The drag link that goes from left to right bends in towards the diff. Check him out.
