Hey guys I need help bad. Yesterday on the way to school some idiot was following too closely, he clipped my drivers side rear corner which caused me to loose the rear end and I hit the side of the mountain with the passenger side front at about 20mph. I went to get my car aligned today and the guy said he couldn't get the drivers side within spec for the caster, so no it pulls to the right when driving. He said he thinks the frame may be bent, but wasn't sure. Here are the results of the alignment, does anyone have any suggestions, can I get a caster/camber kit to maybe bring it in specs. thanks

Here's the details from my alignment

man you don't know how much I would like to, but like the ******* he obviously was (driving like a lunatice), he didn't even stop, and I am hoping to not turn this into my insurance, high enough as it is. any help appreciated. thanks

Probably the best thing to do is to shell out the $50-$100 to get the frame measured and then take it from there...
