HI, I have recently had an accident when i ran up a cement gutter at 50 MPH. The majority of the damage was done to the front wheel though i have replaced all the front drivers side and have just performed the wheel alignment and was shocked with the results.

Rear Axle:

Camber:
left -1 19 right - 0 43
Cross Camber:
0 36
Individual Toe
Left +0 41 Right +1 45
Cross Toe 04
Total Toe +2 26
Setback -0 14
Driving Axis +0 32

Front Axle

Castor 10

Left +7 22 Right +7 02
KPI 10
Left +18 22
right +17 59

Camber
Left -0 32 right -0 18
Cross Camber 0 14
Individual Toe
left -0 10 right -0 11
Cross Toe +0 01
Total Toe -0 20


As you can see some of these values are 10 times there spec value. What else could it be?

Also how long would it take to drop the suspension front and rear to do a proper JIG test and do you need to drop the engine and Transmission too?

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

LT

The subframe or a support brace could be bent. I would take it to a body or alignment shop with the capability of checking for straightness of the body and suspension componenets.

Obviously you bent something. Car needs to be professionally inspected.

Yep, looks like a bent frame. A shop with frame straightener should be able to get you lined up again.
