So the car is a 98 gsx... a few months back when the snow first hit in wisconsin i was playing around on the snow...this is my first time with a car that has any power to the rear and was doing alittle drifting down my road...long story short i lost control and bumped into the curb, i would say at about a 45 degree angle at about 5 miles an hour...didnt break or bend anything but threw my alignment out... brought the car in for an alignment they got everything on except for the caster on the side it was hit...now i thought it might be a bent strut, so i replaced all of the struts and springs...didnt change anything...now im thinking the subframe might have shifted...but how do i align it?
 
Get a alignment kit for the front, aka adjustable ball joint or something like that. How bad is the caster off?
 
It's most likely an arm in that corner. I'd look at the a-arm at the top or the curved bar at the bottom,
 
will adjustable ball joints adjust caster? its not off that bad...dont remember the exact number ...I looked at the subframe and it didnt look like it move...i dont know how to check the A-arm or the the other curved arm for straightness
