Wheels out of alignment, would new spindles help?

You are going to need more than steering spindles. I would suggest that you jack the front end up and remove the bumper cover. Look it over good. Compare to the parts diagram and replace everything that needs replacing.

Things to looks at would be the steering sector gear, and bushings. The wheel spindles, the tie rods, The front axle and bushings, and in some cases even the frame were the axle bolts into it.

That is a familiar problem to me. Someone ran into a solid stop on the left front wheel and the steering rod is now bent. (Left side as seated on the machine)

Ronnie Milsap can see that is no good.

A common issue on these mowers. Usually caused by the frame beeing bent from hitting something too hard. Yes the frames are marginal strength. There are two may be three ways to fix it, replace the frame and be sure to be gentle with the front end, straighten and reinforce the frame, replace the drag links with adjustable ones and reset toe in.

I can't find adjustable rods for the YTH24V54, 960 43 02-59. Can anyone send a link?
