Default Is my D44 housing bent?

My camber specs are -0.6 fl and -0.9 fr. Specified range is -0.6 to 0.1. Could be housing or C I suppose.

Is this amount of bend something to be concerned about?

Mine is the same and was that way before it ever went off road. I now have 25000 miles and just had it checked again and has not changed and has done a lot of 4 wheeling with 34-35's. I just installed a crate 44 in my buddy's wrangler and he checked the alignment and it was -.6 and-.8 so pretty sure just the way they come now.

That's about what mine was when I sleeved it. I ran it that way just fine for a long time before I swapped out the housing for an angle corrected aftermarket one. My local dealer service manager once told me they were getting JKs off the transporters with bent axle housings caused by the truclkers lashing them down tight on the trailers.

take a straight edge to it and check and see if it is bent.
