Busted Spring Pack

I have a broken centering pin on my front, left axle. This is causing the u-bolts to move no matter how tight I have then cranked down. I have a replacement set ready to go, but my question is this: do any of you think that movement could change the camber enough to wear my tire move on the inside?

i think so, pushed back on one side would wear different in a turn than if they were both the same.

Its a solid axle, I dont think it would change anything but it isn't safe with the axle moving back and forth.

center pins run about 3-5 bucks and 30 min to change. Way too cheap to risk life and limb for. if you need pins PM me and I will send some.

Ya man, your crazy, fix it!!!
Tire wear on the inside could be a toe out situation.
