What could be bent?
I recently finished my XJR6 enough to get it outside and drive it. Work and photos in my other posts. However, I was standing in my office having a drink and admiring my car when I spotted a problem. My rear passenger wheel is toed inward alot! I can't believe I never noticed this in my shop. For background this car was moved 2 miles from my old shop to my new shop inside of a tractor trailer. Despite telling my friend to take it easy he decided to slam on the brakes. My car, in park, ebrake on, 4"x4" lumber lagged into the floor behind each tire, managed to go over the wood and slam into a steel i beam on that tire. It punctured the tire and put a divot in the wheel. I know I should have strapped it down.
I put a 6 foot straight edge on the wheel and it's really bad. No shims missing. Something got bent. I'm going to jack it up and pull the wheel to have a look and see if there is anything obvious. Anyone have any ideas what to look for?

The alignment specs should be in this doc and others have other sources

The rear diff is aligned by the a-frame and the two dogbones, so check those with a ruler to see where the problem lies - if the dogbones are bent, it could be the perfect time to change them out for a monobrace from a xk8 or x308.
