Yes you are correct Bj almost every sheep Ive seen that has been driven hard specially with bigger tyres the front axel is a visibly off with negative camber and skid plate is not the answer, that's for something totally else. What you are talking about is axel reinforcement. If you are planing to off road it pretty hard, do a few jumps here and there then maybe something to think about. Although majority seem to be ok with it or even know they have this issue.
