Default bent rear LCA or bent trailing arms?

My car's still is able to get to zero toe in the rear on my rear driver side, but the alignment shop has to push the trailing arm all the way to the left for it to get to zero toe, whereas my other side, the bolt is right around the midway point of the adjustability of the trailing arms.
Both my rear trailing arm and rear lower control arms are from cars from the junkyard. Do you guys think the problem with my rear alignment is due to a bent LCA or a bent trailing arm? I was thinking about giving the omni LCA a try for $100+ and see what happens. Usually when one bends, which one bends first, an LCA or the trailing arm. thanks

a bent lca is pretty easy to spot any tire shop should be able to tell you what the problem is

trailing arms are pretty huge so I don't know whether a pothole will easily bent it. Maybe LCA.
Is it possible your frame not aligned due to previous collision?

i highly doubt its the frame. The trailing arm and LCA are both from 2 different cars, both of which have been in accidents, although not sure where though.
