Default 350z grinding noise when turning right and wheel randomly unaligned

I’m new to this so forgive me if I miss an obvious answer.
I was driving down the highway when I hit a small bump and heard what I describe as a ‘metal hitting metal’ noise. I didn’t think much of it and just assumed it was my loose items in the trunk. I then soon realized my steering wheel was angled left when going completely straight and my car would make a grinding noise when turning left.

I jacked up the car and checked for loose hubs and all of them were completely fine.

All of the following took place before my issue:

I just replaced my front passenger hub assembly.

I replaced my rear camber and traction arms on both sides.

I put wheel spacers on all four tires and torqued both the spacers and wheels to 85 ft lbs.

My timing chain was replaced about 1k miles ago including the water pump and all tensioners.

My front pads are squealing now if that could have anything to do with it.

Anyone have any ideas what my issue could be?

Turns out one of the traction arms snapped in half and that would explain everything. I’ll go the mechanic who installed them on Monday
