CH Front Camber

[Express]

Brief story - Went too fast around a corner in heavy rain, lost control of the car, hit the kerb.
Cosmetic damage is contained to the front passenger side rim.

Took it to get an alignment, and I was told buy the guys at the tire shop that my camber was out (not sure by how much) on the front passenger wheel (obviously the one that hit the kerb), and that it was non-adjustable.

Not knowing much else, what are my options to fix this?

Take it to a mechanic.

Obviously you have 'adjusted' something that isn't designed to be adjusted.

New/used lower control arm.... Or whatever it is. If it's non adjustable then it means something is bent/broken...

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that something's bent as a cause of the accident :/

I'll take it to get checked over on Monday... Depending on whats wrong with it/cost to fix, I may get coilovers all 'round and slam it...

something may be bent.

even just slightly.
the end of the lca can be weak and if you crash in a kerb you can buckle it.
got one here that is bent like that.

also could be bented rack ends.

Well, turns out it was the strut :/

Now to decide if I want to keep the Lancer long term, and get coilovers, or sell soon and just get an OEM replacement - Ahh, choices.

Coilovers. Don't think twice like I have.
