Default Bad Raptor A-Arm Camber

I Took my LE out for a ride lastnight after bathing it from a nice weekend of riding (bumpy trails) and had a really bad experience with it pulling harshly to the right. I put it up on level ground and the left front camber is way out. The top of the wheel is much closer to the frame than the right side. I dont have anything to measure the camber angle but you can tell from looking at it the wheel is cocked. I am afraid the only fix is replacement but man that's expensive are there any ideas to fix this issue or maybe correct the pull to the right without replacing the a-rams. I have an extended warranty but im sure they would come up with some kind of way to blame me and not the materials.

All stock suspension and man does it suck on the bumps!
God bless the skid plates!

There is no camber/caster on stock a-arms!

At least they are adjustable, but only with the aid of rocks or ditches.

Sorry to hear the bad news.

maybe a machine shop can straighten them out? If I were you id be lookin on ebay for people parting out raptors, then email and ask how much they want for one side of a-arms.

It may just be a bent tie rod. Even the stock A-arms you have to hit pretty hard to bend them, but the a-arms bend just by looking at them too hard. A lot of Raptor drivers have stock a-arms and tie rods and I'm sure they would make you a pretty good deal.
