Default Jumped a curb.

Well this all happened when I jumped a curb, and bent a wheel. I was wondering if there was any way that I could have bent my subframe? How likely is that? I know I'll be needing to replace my LCA because my caster is totally off, by appoximately 2 degrees.

When I was getting an alignment redone, whenever we tried to correct the camber, the caster will move along with it and will not match the side that wasn't affected. So it got me worried, I will be replacing the LCA soon. Hopefully the subframe is not bent because that will cause so much problem.

And experts in this please let me know your opinion, and advices.

Thank you,
Tin

Yeah I'll give you a text tomorrow. I still need to get my fenders rolled from you. I found this out when I went to get a 2nd alignment for my front cause that guy at NTB didn't do a really good job in the front.

Entirely possible to bend a subframe. I hit a curb 2 years ago and scuffed the wheel, bent the tie rod, and bent the lower control arm. 8 months later (after it was "fixed") I tried to get a more aggressive alignment for autocrossing and the camber was maxed at -1* on that corner. I had to battle with State Farm for 4 months to convince them that there was a problem even though there was nothing visibly wrong under the car except the alignment bolts not matching side to side.

Solution? New subframe and new knuckle assembly.
