Front Springs Bending Outward
After the last time I went wheeling I noticed that the front springs are bending outward. At first they were skewed to one side (driver side) because the axle was off center. I bought a new adjustable track bar to fix that, which i'm installing tomorrow, but I have noticed that in the last couple days both springs have started to bend outward toward the wheels.
Is this as issue with the control arms?? Is there a way to fix this without spending a lot of $$? Will driving on them be dangerous or start to create problems with other parts? Thanks for the help!

My driver side spring was rubbing the swaybar link. Probably not a big deal but you'll want to check the clearance and alignment of all suspension components.
