Potholes and Alignment
#4
Updates:

I dug out the alignment specs, and will post them below. I also just noticed that the front passenger side wheel (the damaged side) sits noticably inward of the fender than the driver side. I've attached a side by side photo below.

When I jacked the car up, there was zero side to play when grabbing the wheel at both 9 and 3 or 12 and 6.

Here are the alignment specs:

And pictures of the wheel:

(note steering wheel may not be perfectly straight)

To summarize: the wheel isn't sitting correctly in the fender and the toe has drifted out a 1/4" on the passenger side between alignments. Would this indicate a bent strut, tie rod or control arm, or some combination of the above?
