Ok so everything was in the good before the event and everything is adjustable except the lower control arms. Had some good runs till i hit a pot hole sideways going 40 and fucked my geometry up and cant seem to fix the camber in the driver rear.I got everything in the green except driver rear camber which is -3.2 which is max without pulling my fender on that side.

I think i tweaked something but all looks good when i had it on the lift just looking for some recommendations on how to go about this. Driver rucas is maxed out or about to... but the issue seems to be that whole wheel shifted over about 15-20mm stretching my brake line and making the wheel flush against the fender only on one side haha im thinking a bent lower control arm/bracket on the subframe

Yeah something seems out of wack. I'd jack it up and start going over every inch of the suspension and rear end. Maybe its a simple fix.

Definitely sounds like somethings bent it's hard to tell even holding arms up side by side with a new one even if they're bent a bit. If you have aftermarket ones they're probably easier to see because they're not curved and everything. A friend of mine also had a bent knuckle one time and you literally could not tell it was bent looking at it until he changed it out then everything was perfect again.

sounds like bent knuckle , but is your tower rusted up or weakened in any way ?

hmmm didnt even think about the knuckle being bent since its like cast iron lol but ill try and swap some extra parts out and see where i get.

The strut tower its self is in tact not much rust here in texas

Ouch.

I'd be quite surprised if this is the only damage done. Check your subframe, RLCA, RUCA and toe arm too :/
