Thumbs up How to designate bent suspension parts

Hi everyone,

I`ve got into an accident with my s2k... Rain + ~80km/h + rought road = spin and jump over small curb with rear wheels. At first it looked like there where no serious damage to the car except flat tires. But know I`ve noticed that my rear right wheels has bigger (positive) camber than the left one. I took the car to the repair shop and all that they did just adjusted the camber and toe of the damaged wheel. Now looking at numbers both wheels have normal camber and toe but visually you can notice what rear right wheel position differs from the left one.
I think that some of the suspension parts were damaged but how can I designate which ones?

I hope my post is not a mess

Sounds like you're on the right track with checking the alignment but you should look under the car for obvious differences from one side to the other. You might also take the car to a good body shop, they have equipment to check for sub-frame misalignment.

If you hit hard enough to flatten both tires then most likely there are damaged suspension parts.

I`ve already looked under the car but It`s too difficult to notice these differences. So looks like the last option is a good body shop... It`s impossible to find one in my country And what about the lower arm or hub? Maybe these parts are bent?
