As I may have mentioned before my 1997 LGT was bought after a the prior
owner clipped a curb at driving speed. The rear passenger wheel camber is
still visibly way off. I understand there is no way to adjust camber in the rear so I replaced the strut and top hat with one from a donor car nut there was not
change in camber.
Is there's any other part of the rear suspension that may be damaged or bent and causing positive camber??? I'm debating pulling off the
rear crossmember to see if it was tweaked in the accident since rear lateral link and sway bar were both bent when I first got started.

Inspect the following parts in the rear for bends

This helps a whole bunch because I decided to compare the parts on the left rear to the
parts on the right rear and discovered the driver side forward lateral link does not look anything like that!!! I'm not sure what car it came from but it's a stamped boxed shape instead of round tube like in the picture. It must be shorter too because for the love of all things Subaru we could not get the toe zeroed out on the rear driver side.

I've bent them before. They are about $60 from the dealer if I remember right. You will likely need air tools to change it though....Those bolts are a nightmare to work with.
Also, take a peek at the spring. I personally have a really bad habit of breaking springs on my car. That can for sure cause alignment issues.

The spring is ok but when I first got the car the right side rearward lateral link looked like the bent one in the pic. The rear sway bar bent in the middle as well. That much energy being transfered from the wheel that hit the curb to suspension may caused the crossmember to bend as well. I had to completely replace the front crossmember/engine cradle for the same reason. I'm going to get back under the car tomorrow and I'll take a few pics.
