rear suspension mystery help
Hit a curb and now right rear wheel has positive camber.
I had the upper control arm changed with a new one.
Changed the knuckle with a used one.The wheel did not move same positive camber.
Nothing looks bent.The mechanic has spent hours measuring and nothing is different.
Took it to the dealer and was told to change the knuckle and lower control arm.
Took it to a friend who is good tech. I was with him for 3 hrs and could and could not find anything wrong.
Anybody out there ran into something similar.

The best I could say is to jack up the rear of the car, pull off both rear wheels, and compare the geometry of each side.
Did you hit a curb sideways (Face of the wheel met the curb) or did you hit it by driving over it, giving it a big shock upwards? The forged alumiunum parts are pretty sturdy.. anything that's bent/broken should be obvious if you can't realign the positive camber out of the rear.
