Why can't I align 660 ?

My stock 2006 660 won't align. It is toed out. I run out of tie rod before I can get it close to properly aligned; tie rod falls out of the outer tie rod end. I assume I need at least a few threads into the outer tie rod for strength.

I can't tell for sure, but maybe steering knuckle is bent?? My friend said the spindles/knuckle are known to be weak and there is an aftermarket upgrade available, but I can't find them.

Anyone else had this issue or have any ideas? I can't see the inner part of the tie rod inside the rack. I assume there is no issue in the rack. it seems to steer okay.

Bend knuckle / spindle is the likely cause. Tie rod tab should be parallel to the a arm tabs
