2008 Yukon Denali awd. I'm replacing the lower control arm with a new one but once I got everything back together it seems as though the spindle isn't sticking straight up. Is it supposed to be at an angle like this on these trucks? It's my first time doing this job on my truck.

Are the measurements the same on the old and new arm? Can you compare it to the other side?

Why replacing the lower control arm? Worn out or impact damage? When you tear it down like this, did you do sway bar links? Age of hub bearings and axles? If I am keeping a vehicle, I would do both sides at the same time.
