Default Remember how I spun out?

In an earlier thread, I shared my story of how I spun out and hit a curb.

Since then Ive changed the following:

Front LEft\Right - Upper and Lower Control Arms
Front Left\Right - Sway Bar Liniks

I got it onto an Alignment rack.... they told me it's too outta spec to adjust it back t factory.... here are the results

Left Front:
Camber -1.9degree (should Range from -.3 to -.7)
Caster 5.3 Degree (Should Range From 6.3 to 5.8)
Toe 2.54 Degree (Should Range from -.08 to +.08)

Right Front:
Camber -1.5degree (should Range from -.3 to -.7)
Caster 4.2 Degree (Should Range From 5.8 to 6.3)
Toe -.39 Degree (Should Range from -.08 to +.08)

Left Rear:
Camber -1.9degree (should Range from -1.3 to -1.7)
Toe .77 Degree (Should Range from .16 to .32)

Right Rear:
Camber -.8 Degree(should Range from -1.7 to -1.3)
Toe .33 Degree (Should Range from .32 to .16)


From this... can anyone offer any advice to me on what else I should replace to rectify this problem? Any help would be appreciated! THANK YOU!!!!

There was no body damage from this accident... all the body panles were untouched and are in good shape and fitment.... so I dont think it would be an frame damage?

i would suspect frame damage - those toe settings are going to melt your tires.

so if you changed the front suspension arms you hit the front and not the back right? so the last thing you could change that is suspension related would be the front subframe?

sweet brought it to another alignment place.... the first alignment place just saw that it wasnt worth their time to make such big adjustments. the 2nd alignment place got it all in spec for me... except for the Driver Rear. Just need to replace the Knuckle-Hub and Bearing
