To check ball joint s jack up the front axle and support on jack stands and then get a pipe under the tire and then lift up the tire wheile watching the ball joints. They are located where the knuckle meets the inner c on the axle. If they have any upward movement replace them. The unit bearings to check those while its still on jacks grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to rock it inward and out ward there should be no play at all. If there is replace it

If you drive it like that your tires will wear unevenly and it could lead to really bad vibrations even after you fix the toe in because of the uneven wear, leading to you having to buy all new tires. Just saying I would probably find a car to borrow for the time being until its fixed.

Yup. I agree, that's bent. I still don't feel like being toed in would cause that much of a camber issue. I guess if the caster is way out it could.

I liked the KM2's for a Jeep that sees both rocks/ trails and street time. I hated them in mud, but mud is for girls and trucks.
