Default Suspension HELP!!!

A couple of months ago i hit a median going about 45. I had totally fucked up my alignment and popped a couple of wheels. Months later i got new wheels and tires, and got a complete alignment at tire kingdom. When they did it, one of their "alignment techs" told me i bent my frame and that the caster was off by .4 degrees. WTF does this mean!? MY car pulls extremely hard to the right and multiple alignments doent help. Some people say it might be a bent k-member. I also have waht i think is a bent axle on the passanger side, but i dont know how much that has to do with it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

We just replaced a K member on a customer's car that did the very same thing, and the K member was indeed bent. You might as well go with an aftermarket K member, such as the BMR's that I sell, while you're at it. The aftermarket ones are much lighter and take up much less room. Bob

If the axle was bent, you'd know it...how are the tires wearing? That usually tells the story as well!
