The entire fron end is mounted to a large H shaped aluminum forging. Have that inspected carefully.

That was a really bad hit to damage a rotor and jack your alignment. I just did my front end and was surprised to find that the tie rods are the only adjustment in front

What he said.

BTW, on the front you can adjust camber and caster, as well as toe.

No caster adjustment with stock component
There is a special stock lower control arm that does allow caster adjustment, but it is a special part and around $500

Of course with 3rd party parts, there nay be a caster adjustment
