Alignment after hit
Hey everyone, I'm a newby here so I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and then seek help
My truck (Flareside 4x4 extended cab 6" lift) was hit on driver side tire in a hit and run. Busted the steering box, pitman arm, drag link, tie rod ends etc....Had it fixed, and now cannot get front end right ( imagine that with TTB!!!). I have aligned it twice, but something must be bent because when I back up and turn ,the wheels go to crazy neg camber, and scrub. We fine tuned the toe, but when you back into a parking space and then look at truck, you still see the wheels leaning in ( neg camber)
. Am I missing something easy? Note: drop pitman arm was slightly shorter than previous, but made for 6-8" lift. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

The negative camber after backing up is normal on these I-Beam suspensions, you just may not have noticed it before, you didn't really have a reason to look.
The rubbing though could be a bent radius arm.....
