Steering linkage problem
What are the likely causes of my front tires getting so much toe in right here? I know my idler bushings need replaced, but can that much toe come from 1/2" or so bushing wobble? At first inspection my center link looks fine, as do the steering arm links. when I do the bushings I will check the tie rod ends and such as well. Any other ideas? Nothing seems permanently bent and the wheels straighten out once I got out of this section.
FYI I am running 33's with ball joint spacers. The back end is so saggy that I have to keep the front down - near stock height I think. (There is a slight angle down in the steering arm links from the center links, I think that is near stock, I could be wrong though)
Thanks for the advice
Sorry about the shaky video, apparently my buddy doesn't have a steady hand.

I cant see anything that looks wrong
Looks to me your pinched between the ruts and its whats causing the look your talking about. Hows the alignment after the trip? Ide get a lifetime alignment and after your trips take it to the shop and have them straigten it back up.

Thanks.
If you look close you can see that while it is being pinched i got a LOT of toe in. As I got by the toe in lessened. Alignment was a little off after the trip. It was off before a little too. These are hard to keep aligned. I am working on learning to do the alignment myself since I don't know who does lifetime alignments around here.
