curb hunting
so i hit a curb with my driver side last year. it was pouring rain and not getting into detail just that i diffidently under estimated this car and that i learned my lesson. anyways i replaced the driver rear toe arm(that was bent) and i replaced my lower control arm(not bent but just replaced to play it safe). i fixed her all up before putting the car away for winter. i recently pulled my s2000 out for summertime. i just then bought myself works works kiwami (17x9 38+) i then went to do a wheel alignment on it right after due to my accident and putting different wheels on. so i started the alignment on the rear 1st( the side i hit a curb with) i couldnt get my camber or toe close to spec... i then starting thinking that something is bent. i then asked my friend who is way more knowledgeable then me. (certified honda tech) he told me that it will be alot of money and time if i tried finding out whay is that is bent. we checked the rear suspension. nothing looks bent but you cant always tell whats straight and whats not. he basically told me to just buy adjustable toe arms and something for adjusting camber, im not too happy about it because i would love to just find out whats bent but he is right this solution is the best for me. im also going to buy the OEM hub and wheel bearing to play it safe. i was wondering if i should spend the money on hardrace adjustable toe arms or go with the megan one. about 100+ difference. but my real question is what should i buy for adjusting my camber more. buddy club ball joints or do i need to buy a whole new upper control arm? thanks

Possibly the spindle it's usually the first thing that bends, but not always visible. Don't know how bad you hit but by swapping the spindle should be OK. Surprised the Honda tech didn't point that out right away. S2ks have weak spindles

the thing is i dont notice any noise or humming from the rear. my car will steer itself the the right when driving. i hit my driver side if that has anything to do with it
