Certainly looks like something got pushed rearward. You sure nothing is bent?

Better go to an alignment shop. Caster is definately off. Does the car still go straight down the road?

Had a similar situation happen to my old integra. Come to find out my LCA (lower control arm), radius rod, and shock were all bent up... The ride home felt like riding a tricycle with a square front wheel.

I don't think it's possible to adjust the caster that much; something is definitely bent/damaged.

I would take it to a reputable shop and have it looked at, like 99Bluz28 said there has got to be something that is bent or out of place.

I'd jack the front of the car up one side at a time, remove the wheel/tire, then take a close-up photo of each side for comparison. I bet you'll see some clearly visible damage when comparing both sides.

Do you have a more "zoomed out" picture, including what that piece runs to on its other side?

Bent caster mount on the k-member. You might be better off getting a stock replacement k-member.

Well I'd say never go back to that shop if they "aligned" it with that bent mount. That's pathetic.

No, scratch that, go back, show them the damage, ask them how the heck they "aligned" it as there was no way to get it back in spec with it like that, and ask for a refund. Then never return.

Somebody's cousin requires a dick punch. I find this sort of thing typically occurs with brothers-in-law, not cousins....and i second sparkyjjo.
