drift vs bricks need help

[bear]

okay I bounced my 91 vert off of a brick curb about 1 foot high while drifting around a parking lot, a good laugh on my part, anyway, put on a new control arm, new strut tube and strut, and got the car aligned, but my wheel is still not centered front to back (from sideview)in the wheel well anymore.
I thought about getting new eye adjusters and replaceing the stock control bushing so I could gain that adjustment, but I would rather know what happened, could my frame tunnel have moved inward some? it still looks the same, ie pushed the control arm bushing mount point inwards. or could my crossmember under the motor, where the ball joint attaches, have moved some.
I guess I need to know what the weakest point is so I can straighten the frame out rather than just adding more adjusters to the car, thanks for all the wise and wise-ass help in advance

I guess I should add that only the air dam and front tire hit, it bent the control arm end back about 2" and was still driveable save for a bit of rubbing, I changed the strut and tube set after changing the control arm and bushing still left the wheel un-centered. anyway it was a great 40 mph slide with lotsa smokin rubber wooha

pics or it didnt happen

right under the bumper you can see the sheetmetal of the valance is still a bit funky, I didn't get all the tweakage banged back out, and I didn't want to bondo it, so I just bent it back, reshaped it and resprayed it, the airdam I just heatgunned back in to shape, didsome filler and resprayed that, this is all the evidence I have, shoulda took before and afters I guess, but you can see the relationship of the wheel and the fender opening, it sucks, I'm gonna try to fit a bottle jack between the control arm bushins and sprea the rails a bit and see if that produces any change for the better, I do body and paint for the fun of it or lack there of in my garage so those repairs were not too tricky.

Your front frame rails are tweaked, most likely.

and here is the only 2 of that side I took before the bender. man resizing with photobucket sucks the crap out of the photos!

frame straightener should be able to fix it right up? maybe they can straighten out my old camber shit too. I've had camber plates on it ever since I bought just to make the camber match, one wheel was straight up and the other very neg.

dropped crossmember today, has a small tweak in it, compared it to a spare I have and it is way out, so problem solved. btw crossmember is way cheesier than I thought it would be, but i'd rather bend that then the rails

i'd rather bend that then the rails

BMW agrees

i know this sounds stupid but did u get an alignment after the incident?

[bear]

yessuh, sho did, was able to adjust the toe and camber, but not wheel placement in the arch, car drove alright, but looked way wrong, also steered alittle too light so the caster musta got jacked too. I just could'nt see the tweak in the crossmember while in the car, and thought it was bent frame rails, actually had to raise camber on one side way more than the other to make it line out, but the bend in the crossmember is pretty obvious next to the new one. once my coilovers come in and my dz's go on I'll put it back on the ground and see how well the new crossmember fixes it.
