    um i hit something..help

    so tonight my balls got too big and i hit a solid object with my left front pretty hard. i now have a little more camber on that side. i got underneath and visually cant see anything bent or broken. car still tracks/drives straight. i can adjust it all to be even but it will bug the hell out of me so id rather fix it. any suggestions as to where/what to look at as far as common failure. from the marks on my wheel i hit about half way up if that helps any. thanks in advance guys.

    erich:(:(

    It's possible you either bent a control arm, bent the control arm bushing bracket, or bent a tie rod end. Could be a few other things as well, but I'd check those first.

      Also check the distance from the inside of the tire to the strut on each side of the car. A bent strut can appear as camber also.

        Maybe check the spindle too.

          I vote bent strut. Especially with those zero offset wheels.
