wheel lean
tjsj:
Do you think its worth putting two of my dads 235/70's on the front just to see if its still the same then??
Henry Webster:
Might be accentuated to look at by a bigger wheel size, but the only way that the wheel will be implicated is if it is bent. To tell this roll it forward 1/2 a revolution and see whether the lean is the other way round!
The swivel pins are the things that hold the hub assy on to the shiny chrome swivel - top and bottom of the black/brown/muddy casting. It would need quite alot of play for it to lean that far I reckon.
It is really difficult to diagnose by photo.
Henry Webster:
If it drives alright, and there is no play, then I probably wouldn't worry about it too much, especially if you are only going to be using it round the fields.
Just keep an eye on it.

tjsj:
Ok cheers Henry thanks for all that advice it helped a lot!!!! It can't be that bad as it drives fine. Had good fun in it this afternoon around the field though. I must say it does pull well for a 2.5 4cyl diesel. Cheers for all the advice but I can't see anything majorly wrong so it can't be that serious.
Range Rover Blues:
Can't be certain from the pic but it look ok to me, the lean when on lock is called dynamic castor and it's wrong on your because of the lift. If the swivels were bent the swivel seal would be leaking/deformed especially as it's new.
If you are still worried stick a spirit level up against the 2 front tyres and check if they are both upright (or out by the same amount on a side-slope) but I think it's an optical illusion.
