Are my C's bent?

So I pulled my Jeep out of the garage and got to looking at the stance of the front axle and it looks something is bent. The driver front looks like it's at an angle with the top being bent in. The passenger looks at little bent in towards the top but not as much as the driver. How can I tell if something is bent? I tried to take a picture.

I would check you ball joints and outer bearings. I had the similar stance to mine and turned out to be a combo of both of those going bad.

If they are out the same distance you probably just need to adjust your toe.

The driver is tilted inward a little more than the passenger

Jack up the front end and see if there is movement.

I've got 60k on my jk and the last 15k with 35's
I started to notice the front stance starting to change after about 10k miles on my 3" lift with 35" tires.

Why have you not put C-Gussets on? Especially with 37's.

Well I zoomed in to your pic and seen that. I would check the ball joints like some have suggested. I would not think your C's are bent.

It could possibly be your unit bearings.
