Yaofeng
so it got hit and the camber's off now.
The camber is not adjustable, so that's
not going to solve it.
These front ends are pretty sturdy, but
sometimes there is a tendency to through
everything at it.
Here's what I'd check, in order:
1) make sure that the wheel didn't get bent
it's a long shot - aluminum rims seem to crack
before they bend.
2) Make sure your brake rotor is still ok -
a bit of warp in there could have happened.
3) As noted by Marvin - bent strut is likliest
culprit.
After that
4) bent control arm, and finally
5) bent steering knuckle.
4 & 5 would indicate a pretty hard hit,
one that would probably cause more body damage than
you reported.
An alighnment shop will
tell you camber's not adjustable,
and want to throw everthing at it.
