I’m wondering if anyone can tell from these pictures if my front suspension is off center or if I have 2 left control arms. Note the spacing difference between the upper control arms and the frame. Specifically, the right side is touching the frame while the left has more clearance. I’m assuming it’s an off center thing, but figured I’d see what those with more experience think.

It’s hard to be 100% certain that you have 2 left upper control arms from the pictures. I would measure that the front axle is centered left to right and report back. Is this stock or aftermarket suspension components? The upper control arms appear to be stock.

Thanks! This is a stock setup. I’ll see about measuring for how centered the front axle is.

It's really easy. Just drop a weighted string over the fenders. It should hit both passenger & driver tires in the exact same location. If they're different it's because the Track Bar isn't the right length. You can figure out how much each tire is shifted.
