Alignment Problem????
Ok so here's the story.....
I spun out and as I was doing a 180 (not on purpose) I hit a small curb. I pushed in my rear wheel pretty bad....to the point where the front part of the wheel closest to the body was touching the radius arm (that long dog bone looking thing that connects the frame to the lower control arm) so imagine how the toe looked....if this is straight | then my wheel was like this \ (about 25 degrees toe in)
So I went out and bought a new knuckle, lower control arm, and radius arm. I put everything back together and I still have about 5 to 10 degrees of toe in.
Do you guys have any idea what it could be? The lower arm that controls the toe...do you know if anyone makes an after market one that has an adjustable length. This would allow me to fix my toe without other modifications being made.
But yes I would like your input as to what could be causing the rear to still toe in.
Cheers!

yeah I found that tie rod. Im going to buy it. The thing is though....something is still bent that I cant figure out....i mean it could be my subframe (that thing that holds all the lower arms and stuff) or my chassis??? Do sub frames bend pretty easy?

No, the LCA will probably fold before the subframe bends, but then again anything is possible depending on angles and forces... Do you see anything that looks bent or out of place?
Here's a good subframe if it helps:
