Angry 2003 XK8 Suspension

I have a 2003 XK* Convertable that was involved in an accident. It was hit at the back of the drivers door and also the LR wheel must have been hit as the entire Wheel is pushed back about an inch on the drivers side. We cannot determine what is askew. All body alignment points are correct. I cannot see any bent suspension members. My frame guy thinks its the control arm but we have trouble visualizing that big piece of cast bending without breaking something else. Anyone have any experience in this area or any ideas where to look?

Default Check the other side

If the driver side is in, and the passenger side is out, then your rear carrier is shifted.

Thanks margate69 for the reply.
The driver's side is pushed back relative to the passenger's side. I have tried to see how the carrier could shift and I can't see where it has. I have looked in JTIS for the correct dimensions for the center to center distances of the wheels but I haven't found that info.
