I hit a curb ... now I have camber issue, stock suspension
 
I blasted a curb in a ice storm, and now I have 1.2 degrees positive camber on the driver side front. I know this is supposedly not adjustable but how do restore the factory alignment then? I have had an alignment and the toe and caster are good again (they were F'd before) but the car still handles funny (pulling to the left). Hopefully I dont have to replace the strut! http://is.rely.net/1-92-65076-l-NREc...mLFY3DaZnA.gif

So you hit a curb, ended up with positive camber and all you did was get an alignment?

Have you looked at the suspension yet? the lower control arm? radius rod? tie rod end? etc...

If there is in fact a bent suspension part, I'm surprised the alignment shop didn't catch it.

Yes thats all I did was get an alignment. Then I posted here to ask questions about what to look at.

well, get a jack and jack stands to lift and support the front of the car. Crawl under and start looking at the suspension components. Start with the obvious things like the lower control arm, radius rod, tie rod end, sway bar, endlinks, and even where the LCA mounts to the subframe.

My guess is you are going to find one of those mentioned above to be bent or otherwise damaged. Again though, I'm surprised the shop you took it too didn't even look for it or tell you something was bent/damaged.
