Is my vehicle miss aligned??

So I have gotten a alignment a few weeks ago when i replaced the control arms. But this seems like a problem where when turned all the way the driver front wheel rubs on what would be the mud flap bracket
it doesn’t happen on the passenger side
and has been going in before i replaced the the control arms
is it something that is fixed by a wheel alignment?
(it is off by a little bit not major)
is it something that can be popped back in or do i hust cut it off

Passenger

Driver

If it were me, i would first perform some measurements and determine if the fender wheel well area has been pushed in. Get under the truck and see if you can measure from one area of the frame to the a exact spot on the wheel well and compare both sides. Keep in mind you need to measure based on a part of the frame that is symetrical from both sides.

Also wouldnt hurt to measure the front and rear wheels in corolation with each other. This will tell you if the driver wheel is pushed back. Highly unlikely with frame based vehicles but you never know...

So basically your trying to see if the wheel that is off or the wheel well.

And if your not interested in fixing the mudflap and correcting the misalignment of wheelwell or wheel, than yea just remove that stud and save a tire.
