Default wierd steering problem ?

I replaced my tires and got a alignment at 89K now im at 90k and overnight the wheel is off center,it seems to be tracking straight but wheel is cocked on a angle almost 45 degrees?.
I didnt hit a pot hole or been offroading recently.
Im going to bring it back to alignment guy tommorow if there open.
What would cause this,the wheel was straight yesterday, everything looks good upon inspection ?

I just got back from alignment guy it seems the differential bushing bbelow shaft droped down and the front end sitting on the bump stops, causing a tow problem he said said to bring it to dealer.
Definatly new bushing and new bump stops and new alignment .

Anyone have this problem

After reading up on this I found you have to replace complete crossmember.
Also read you must replace rear skidplate.
Can anyone confirm this ?
Ill get them and do it myself by the end the week

This forums going to $hit
No responses ,on the other forum great help like you used to get here ?

Anyway
I got the parts put it up on the lift noticed the right rear leave spring broke at the front bolt end.
the crossmember,bump stops and right motor mount were shot also.
the new crossmember has a much better/ stronger/bigger bushing then old one.
PITA to remove motor mount
Leaf springs wont be in till monday :wall: Im replacing the pair

442,
Sorry bout the issue. My guess would have been tie rod.
Any idea what caused the problem sounds unusual

Good luck working it out!

Just experienced a similar situation. Replaced the pair of rear leaf springs on my '06 H3 after one of the pair snapped. Replaced at Firestone for $905.00. Springs were a dealer only part according to the mechanic there. Dealer price for the job was $1100.00. My H3 has 137K miles on it, so my advice to anyone who uses their H3 as a daily driver is to have your springs inspected if you are over the 100K mark, don't wait for it to go out on you.
