    Suspension and alignment gurus.. Need help.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So at Christmas Eve I hit a nasty pothole going around 50.
    Blew a tire and bent a peeler, after sourcing a tire and repairing the peeler I had slight pull to the right.
    Swapped tires and it dramatically got better. Tracks pretty straight now depending on the road

    So here's the deal, alignment was way out of whack when I took it in.
    What's scary was the SAI and IA initial specs. I'm a little scared that I probably bent a suspension component somewhere.
    I do hear a clunk on the passanger front side where the damage occurred. I'm thinking the strut is on its way.
    I couldn't see any play with the suspension but the strut looks like it took a pretty hard hit.
    I'm planning on rebuilding the whole front end suspension soon but wasn't planning on changing the spindle.


    Anyway..

    Alignment report

    Anything that i should be worried about?

    Wouldn't something else bend before the subframe?
    I can't find any stress points on the LCA ..

    The tie rods are usually the sacrificial parts.

    That's what I've heard..
    I'm probably going to change the tie rods just for the hell of it.
    NYC takes a toll on our suspensions.

    But if the spindle and/or subframe are bent in any way shape or form, then that will be an insurance claim if the city doesn't pick up the tab and that's a hassle that I don't want .

    I know there was a guy here who seemed like an expert when it came to aligning our cars.
