Alright it was raining so I spun on a wet road and I hit a curb on complete accident, but it wasnt big at all, from what i saw i had a bent tie rod and that was all, so i changed the tie rod for a new one and i thought everything was going to be alright.
But I was wrong when I lowered the car I saw that I had more camber on the passenger side (which had the bent tie rod) than the drivers side, so I thought it was the LCA or bushings, so I swapped the bushings and still had camber heres a pic:

As you can see the camber is way off on the passengers side. When I drive the car it pulls to the right slowly and when i back out of a parking spot when I turn the wheel all the way to the left I can hear a scraping coming from the front of the car and I feel a TINY pull on the steering wheel when this happens. Also when i was swaping out the bushings from the passenger side of the sway bar i noticed that one of the bolts holding up the bushing was just spinning in place and it wouldnt come out can this be a problem that can cause it?
I really need to get this over with there is a JustDrift event in March that I am attending and I want this problem to go away! I searched her on good ol'Nico and I found that it can be possibly frame damage but that scraping when i turn left just doesnt add up with the frame thing. I need some help please anyone?! haha
