    I hit a Ridge at 40ish-mph on the passenger side, which set off my driver and passenger side airbags.. Didn't need coffee that morning....

    Took it to Toyota (1st mistake), they changed the lower control arm, turned the rotors a bit and did an alignment. (their alignment has to much much camber, but is wearing even on the inside of each front wheel)

    First they said they couldn't get it to align, so I gave them the spec sheet given to me by ORW after they added new front and rear shocks. ORW had it lined up perfect...

    Not surprisingly, she pulls to the right... I'm ready for new tires and an alignment, BUT....

    Since then I've been hearing what's described in the Header...

    What's bent that Toyota didn't find ?

    Axle shaft, UCA, spindle, frame horn, wheel...plenty of other things to bend hitting an anchored object at 40ish mph. Is the tire hitting anything? Nowhere near enough information to go off of here.

    Nope, The tire isn't hitting anything. I've got a 1.5" lift and 1.25" wheel spacers..

    I know there are are a lot of possible "can be wrongs". What does your gut say ?

    I would have taken it to a collision/bodywork shop to get an estimate and then likely turned it over to my insurance company.

    Your bags popped, call insurance. If they didn’t replace entire coil over with top hat, that is the problem, along with possible other stuff
