FRS - Front Camber Issue HELP
 
Hello there

I bought a 2015 FRS about 3 months ago. I was omw home 2 weeks ago and hit a curb going at about 30 mph. My whole lower control arm and stabilizer link got messed up, the car was not drivable. I took matters into my own hands, which might of not been wise and flat bed the car home. I ordered the parts straight from the dealer and had my mechanic install them. Didnt want to get insurance involved. The car drives fine, but the steering is a bit off . So i went to go get the car aligned today at the dealer and the mechanic told me it wasn't possible due to the car having camber on the front passenger wheel. What should i do. Any help is appreciated.

Another part needs replacement or adjustment. You can try to get by as is by tightening the tie rod, and loosening the strut bolts, pushing the bottom of the tire in, and tighten. Ideally you should take a closer look at the entire strut assembly, and check torque specs.

You may have tweaked the frame where the lower control arm attaches.

What were his measurements for that wheel? Camber, caster, and toe.

I didn't get the measurements, but I will be taking it to my mechanics shop to have it looked at closer. Thanks tho for the help.

did you check to see if the strut's lower mount got tweaked too?
