Default Guys u need !!! Smaked a curb suspention it totally off

So last night some one decided to pull a gun at the races.... Everyone scattered and i ended up drifting and hitting my front rim on a concrete curb... I right away noticed my steering wheel was straight, it was about 35 degrees off...
Took the car to get it aligned and these were the specs
camber -0.7
caster 7.2
toe .77
so, the dude fixed the alignment, but he said he couldn't fix the caster that i needed a camber kit that allows him to adjust the caster... Idk if this guy is full of crap, i think he just wanted to take my money because i rolled up in a clean z.
I took my wheels and rotors off, and i noticed that when i spun the rotor that it wabbeld... To make sure it wasnt just the rotor, i swapped the rotor with the one on the other side and put lug nuts back on it so it sits flat on the hub and it still wabbled and it makes a slight clunky sound... So the hub is bad... But my question is can th lower control arms bend easly , and how can i check and see if they are bad?
Thanx guys

"the races" lol did you mean to say the super awesome street races that you attend every saturday because you have a faster car then all the civics.... and by drift i assume you mean you ran to your car all dukes of hazard style and after watching fast 5 you thought you new how to drift but you really over accelerated trying to show off and lost control of the car then ended up looking like a tard in front of your friends..... cool story

oh and I wish people wouldn't try to scam me too because i pull up in a clean Z

That sucks bro, the guy is definitely trying to rip you off, you can totally check for the damage yourself...hopefully you get up and running soon man , it's all about the races, any real racer knows that

And Don't worry about the comments on this site, all clearly haters... dont let them come into your house and disrespect your family

Compression arm, lca, knuckle, and wheel bearing probably need replacing, along with the necessary bushings.

sorry you may be a decent guy but most people on this forum dont like the whole drifting and doing stupid things on public streets. i will give you a example https://my350z.com/forum/the-lounge-...nksgiving.html your story is very similar but you own your situation more then dugan did. dont be surprised if others are even worse, and take your number off the OP
