I need you guys help. I am also new to the forum so I am just assuming this is where I can post this.

My S14 was involved in an accident where the other car stuck my left rear area (right at the rear left wheel area, behind the driver's door). It tore the area behind the tire and also damaged the rim that was there. I had done an alignment about two months before the accident and after the accident I found the rear left to be at -4.6degrees. The camber was set at -2degrees for both sides. The other side is at -1degree.

A mechanic visually checked the arms and the arms does not appear to be bent.

What do you guys think???
any help will be great.

When I thought I had some bent arms, I got the same response over and over. It was to just get under the car and take measurements of each sides arms. Obviously if they don't match up, theres something wrong with it.

there's no way of visually checking if teh arms are bent or not. you have to measure and compare. if it's possible, even try comapring teh measurements to a car you know is straight and aligned
