Slightly bent knuckle

I have a slightly bent knuckle, tierod, and strut. You have to look hard to see it but my wheel is slightly tilted in like a VIP car. Is this bad for my T-case?

It's bad for your tires and unsafe to be driving on damaged suspension components.

a damaged suspension component has been stressed/fatigued. There's no telling what kid of strength is left in the metal. Your alignment is also out of whack now, causing weird handling problems I'd bet.

Vivid Racing can probably help you source new parts, either aftermarket or OEM. Shoot me a PM if we can help!

Replace the stuff that's bent, and get an alignment. You should be able to see what's bent/broken with a visual inspection. It sounds like you've already done that anyway.
