a fender bender is still strong enough to tweak a frame....

as in frame, im also refering to frame mebers... the frame could be bent, but dont rule out other little things like bent control arms, that can just as easily have done it....

Many years ago I worked in a Front End shop and it was quite
common to find out of spec. camber and caster. We had a
60 ton air jack and some large chain the we chained the
front end too and then bent it back into spec.

Most body shops never check the frame or body aligment
after an accident.

If you have modified the front end, the adjustments might
not make spec. If that is the case, then you have to modify
the control arms or their mounting to make the spec.
