My wife's 93 wagon got hit slightly in the front passenger side just in front and across the front tire. It bent the inner tie rod end, then it drove for awhile then broke. i replaced it. the wheel is canted slightly in at the top (negative camber). It does not appear the strut tower got bent. The strut adjustment is fixed, unless i drill out the welds at the top of the strut tower. What are the chances that during this hit, the strut cartridge itself bent, and is adding to the negative camber on this wheel? It does not look bent, the tire is leaning 2/4 degrees aprox. I am just patching this car until i get another one, so i don't want to put big money in it. I do have another set of used struts if a bent strut is the cause
As a sidebar, the inner tie rod end was a bitch to change. I rented a tool at O'Reilies. The dam screw that locks the tool down to the tie rod will only turn 2/3 the way until it hits the motor mount when removing. What a pain.
