last week the wife grazed a the concrete wall on the expressway in my 2002 camaro. nothing happend to the car other than a bent wheel and a little paint damage on the passanger side where it hit. but now the car is pulling to the right really bad. i swapped the wheels and took it to the local firestone place to get an alignment. he told me that he did his best and that the car might have frame damage. after the alignment it doesn't pull as bad but it still pulls pretty bad to the right. i never had a problem before the accident and the accident was extremely minor with very little visible damage. what do you guys recommend that i do? should i start with a new steering rack and go from there? incase its important info i have Qa1 f series all around.

sorry i couldn't be of any real help

like the view?

hahaha. Did the alignment come out good, or did they say it was "close" Sounds like a bent lower control arm.

first check lower control arms and the spindle, since one or both of those might need replacement. Then check the K-member.

The knuckle is inherently weak. If it damaged a wheel, then chances are really good that the knuckle was tweaked.

As far as frame damage goes ... not likely. You would see damage to the K-member.

Also check the lower a arm. I've seen one or two bent after hard enough curb strikes on a road course.
