Default Curbed my S

I recently went over a curb backwards and I took it and got an alignment. It hasn't had an alignment since before I put Skunk 2 lowering springs (9's in front, 8's in rear). Most of the force from the curb was on the rear driver side.

Old ------- New

(Driver Rear)
Camber -5.3 -4.4
Toe 1.50° 0.19°

(Pass Rear)
Camber -3.9 -3.2
Toe 0.69° 0.30°

What is most likely wrong? Any past experience? Lower arm? Upper arm? Both? Strut looks fine.

Post up your prior alignment sheet.

Top is before, bottom is after.


This is the only specs I have, no previous alignments since I owned it.

So you installed the springs, but never had it aligned until after this incident?

I aligned it after with hope that the mechanic would be able to see what is bent

It makes it harder to see what actually got bent without a prior alignment sheet.
