Hit a literally unavoidable pothole in philly today and now the camber on my passenger side is visibly off, like bad. I have SPC components installed, wondering how much could possibly be broken from that.
if you have SPC FUCAs it could just be that the camber adjusting balljoint got loose from the impact and needs to be aligned and tightened down agian...otherwise its likely the ARM itself got bent although I doubt a pothole would bend the steel SPC arm (vs. an oem aluminum arm which is more likely to have bent than a steel arm)....good luck

Well that's a little reassuring haha thank you a bunch! Gonna leave work early and drop it off.
Just to update the camber on the SPC arm went all the way to the opposite side from the impact no further damage was found. An alignment fixed it thank god
Check your wheel as that could be bent now too. Was the SPC caster adjustment torqued to 120ft/lb? That’s what I have mine torqued to per instructions.

Somehow the wheel was still straight lol. I’m not entirely sure, RT had done the last alignment 2 years ago and I haven’t had problems until now so I don’t know if it loosened over time or something?
