Now all the above said, when are you going to get that beast out to Sears Point?
Richard,

After checking all components I assembled the rear suspension and re-checked alignment and camber (at ride height). The driver's side alignment is right on and camber is 0.0 degrees as it was before the off-road adventure. However, the passenger side camber is 89.0 degrees or 1 degree positive. Much of the impact to this particular area was taken by the wheel, which you saw, and apparently the upright. The bearings that carry the axle actually tweaked inside the upright. All other pieces measure identical on right and left side.

I will call Dave in the morning about getting a new upright for the passenger side. Thanks for the insight, you called it.

John
