I had to use a puller when changing axles and really had to pull the crap out of the rotors and beat on em with sledge, actually busted right side. Ended up getting all new parts, rotors, bearings and axles. Never seen anything stuck together like that in my life. When I got it back together the caster is way off on pass. side, bottom of tire is about 1.5 inches further out than the top of tire. What do you think bent on the front end? Balljoint? Steering knuckle? Something else? Haven't had time to rip it back apart yet, just want to know what i'm in for this time. I'm sure i'm not the only one that has had a tough time with this. What gave on it?

I think you're talking about camber.
Beat them with sledge hammer?
As to what bent/broke it's anybody's guess.
