Wheels off camber

Hi Guys

My friend accidentally slid into a gutter a couple months back and now has a problem with his wheel camber.

he has now replaced the wheels and has also put new struts in. we have also put the camber bolts in the front struts as negative as they will go.

the problem is that his wheels still sit in or on 0 degrees or even maybe positive camber.

what else could be wrecked???

cheers in advance

Control arms, axles, or anything else that is connected to the wheels. Best get it on a hoist and check it out.

I think the only thing on the car left to do is the control arms.
do they bend easy?? they look really sturdy.

If he only hit one side, get the car up, and compare it to the other side. They should first off look identical.

If its minor damage, look for any sighs of flex, bending, or stresses in the shape of the arm.
