Z Alignment after Accident

[CandyClaws]

Hey everyone, looking for some advice/opinions on my 2024 Nissan Z Performance after an accident repair. The car had front-end/passenger-side damage previously, but everything was repaired and the car drives mostly fine now. There wasn’t any frame damage (mostly cosmetic damage).

However when I drove it after the repairs the car seemed slightly unstable at higher speeds, even though it was driving straight. I got the car realigned at a more specialized shop and the alignment tech mentioned there may be a slightly bent rear knuckle or small suspension geometry issue from the accident, but the car is now driving much better after adjustment. I’ll add a picture of the spec sheet below.

My question is: if I’m planning on going with coilovers + adjustable front upper control arms + rear camber/toe arms anyway, would you guys just dial the car in with aftermarket suspension and alignment, or would you try to track down and replace whatever OEM component might be slightly bent first? The car doesn’t pull, feels stable now, and doesn’t show obvious signs of major damage, so I’m trying to figure out the smartest route forward instead of throwing parts at it unnecessarily.

No way for us to tell if there's frame damage without bein there to test stuff

but there is definitely something wrong with the current setup - too much difference right/left.

Since fronts are fixed, i imagine there is something bent

All of this can indeed be "fixed" by adjustable arms, if it is just bent arms

It there's a bent frame, arms can compensate but not fix the issue entirely
