That bent tie rod probably caused yor tire to wear like that.
Even if it was straightened , if its not withing a 1/8 inch it will start wearing tires uneven.
You can get a pretty good guess on your pinion angle with a level app on your iPhone. Hold it on the flat bottom section of knuckle.
Pinion angle isn't going to give you death wobble. But once it starts wobbiling it can make it alot worse if jeep is already squirrelly from pinion angle being off.
4-5 degrees are best on the JKs

Went over to Mike's last night and we noticed that the ball joint was moving as I turned the steering wheel back and forth. We tightened that up and we couldn't see anything else moving. Time will tell I guess. And I do need to get a new tie rod when funds are permitted!!
Thanks again Mike for the help!!
