bent subframe?
basically a few years ago when i was taking a lefthand corner too fast in my car with shitty tires the rear end slid out a bit too far and i put the passenger rear tire into the curb HARD... basically bending the wheel to a horizontal state and in the end i had to replace 1 lateral link, 1 trailing arm, and 1 CV...
now heres my problem... ever since the crash both of my rear wheels are tilted in the same direction slightly.. if you were looking at my car from the back it would look like this " /----/ " thats an overstatement but you get the idea.. when i brought the car to TopSpeed to get tuned they said that it is most likely a bent subframe or it may possibly have shifted during the accident. my first question is, how would i re-adjust the rear subframe? and two, do you guys concur with TopSpeed's assessment and/or do you have any other ideas of what it might be?

take the car to a body shop and have them check it out, only way to be sure.

well, there are adjustments to push the lateral link out...assuming that it is at the outward most setting(most negative camber to correct the damage done), I would say its time to buy a new rear subframe.
alingment rack time!!
