So my student driver took all 4 wheels of the 2010 Camry V6 LE over a curb in a panic moment avoiding another vehicle. After replacing a right front pinch flat tire and dented rim, and getting all the wheels checked out and RF balanced, I took it back to Firestone to use my lifetime alignment policy.
They were unable to get Left Side Camber within specs, and thus recommended new Front Struts.
But looking at the alignment, it started out in spec, and ended up out of spec. I realize adjusting one thing may affect the other, but I wanted to get some expert opinions before dropping time & money on a new set of struts. Seems to me if it started out in spec, they should have been able to keep it there, as all other adjustments were quite small.
The car has only 70.8K mlies, but it is 10 years old. The car does not appear to be riding low and rides and handles just fine. I am also aware there are Camber Kits. I've replaced front struts before, and I'm not afraid to do it again, but I want to know the absolute need, and other options first.
I'll attach a picture of the before & after. If it's not readable, I'll be happy to type in the specs.
