Can an expert identify from these pictures if this is really true? It's a 2015 Kia Optima. I'm the original owner, used to live in Chicago but now I'm in Tampa. They say they've never seen anything like it, but that's probably cause they're from FL. They said they can't do an alignment because they can't loosen something to get the equipment in. I would need to replace the following for around $3.5k:
• Tie Rod End Replacement: left front inner and outer tie rod ends with new nut • Control Arm- Rear: both rear lower control arms and hardware • Trailing Arm: both rear arms and hardware
