front tires leaning in at top
i have an 08 jk x and it has 11k on it.my front tires are leaning in at the top to the tune of about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the tire.ive heard of the dana 35s having a problem with the inner c's bending and causing this.has anyone else had this problem?im a member od MSJ and none of us except me has had this problem.i found a fix for it but i would think it would be a waranty issue cause it has the lifetime powertrain waranty.and help would be apreciated, thanks

If you are running stock, this would definitely be a warranty issue (If you have not been hammering on it)

yes everything is stock except the 35 mud grabbers and a 4 inch lift.been doing the 4s at superlift ,but im not the only one.just seem to be the only one with this prob.i asked the dealer if the mods i have done would effect the waranty and they said no.it could be a dana 30 but i thought it was a 35.im not real sure now lol.its at the dealer now and i should hear from them soon.

No doubt. If the dealer will repair it under warranty, great. But the 35's with a lift probably caused the issue with the 30. Do a search on strengthening the Dana 30, there is a ton of information on the board related to it.

Once you get it fixed then beef it up with these

you could also add a rockkrawler axle truss and or Mt Logan tube sleeves. I am guessing you wheeled it hard to bend both

It's an X, which means it's a D30 up front (unless someone put in a D44). As for the axle C's, both the D44 and D30 have this issue, as their C's are the same. It is caused from running larger tires on the Jeep. There are gussets made by EVO to keep that from happening, but I haven't heard of a way to straighten them back out.
