'89 4Runner, stock IFS (w/ BJ spacers)

After the Line Mountain 4x4 race, my front D-side tire was left w/ a nice inward cant, so the pair looks like this | \ from the front, lol.
This race was really brutal on the steering

It's hard to tell whether the top is tilted in, or the bottom is pushed out... but in comparison to the "good" side there is more space between the lower bumpstop and the shcck, and a littl less between the shock and the upper BJ. Which makes me tend to think it's the bottom pushed out.

I've played with the adjusting cams on the lower A-arm base... the front onewillmove allteh way to maybe 40 degrees,the backone to only maybe 10dgerees before they get stuck... but even then it's nowhere near close to getting the tire vertical.

I can't really see anything specific that is bent or warped. Anychance it's the bodyof the knuckle itself?
For you guys that reallypunish these IFS components (befroe ditching for SAS), where is the warpage?
Just trying to hunt down what I need to replace.

BTW my first suspicion was broken balljoint, but there's no obvious play/wiggle in the up/down direction.
