Default something doesn't look right

After looking back at my jeep as i walked away, i noticed that the driver side tire is pitched in. i am not talking about adjusting the tire with the tie rod. It looks like the top of the tire is tilted inwards and the bottom is kicked out. Does anyone have any pictures from the front of there jeep with a bent c or knuckle. I was a rush so I couldn't grab a picture but i will get one here in an hour or so.

thanks in advance.

It tracks to the right a tad but its hard to tell because I need to replace the drag link. It doesnt pull real hard and i am not fighting it to keep it on the road. I am going to get it aligned and put the drag link in saterday morning.

Man, I went blind looking at the pics. Sorry, but i don't see it. I guess the real question is how is it driving now?
