Twisted the spindle shaft most likely

you would need to take the spindle apart and heat the shaft
try to 'clock' the shaft back in position 

or replace the spindle shaft

The arm on top, is welded to the spindle?  Does the arm look to be in alignment? If it is,and the weld is still intact,  and the wheel isn’t pointing where it should be, well then the spindle is twisted like he said

Grind the weld off
clock the arm where you want
and weld again 
obvious was a problem there or it would not have been welded

was not a good weld or it would not have cracked

I use Chrome Nickel rods for that weld  

Check also the bolster arm -- those like to stress crack
and yours has had some stress

Much more of a problem is the bolster arm breaks off while you are driving 
that a bent spindle (worn keyway in your case I suspect) or broken weld on the spindle arm
