Well first off thanks everyone for tips but unfortunately I have to replace my subframe and steering knuckle, well according to the shop. Here is the current reading.

I can understand replacing the knuckle, but why replace the subframe? Is it noticeably deformed?

if you're subframe has to be replaced then the spot where the radius arm bolts to the subframe just have some major damage

Sorry for a late reply been busy, I triple checked my sub frame, seems fine to me it did look a little deformed on the alignment rack. Going to replace the knuckle and go from there. Thanks again everyone!

easy first, RR shows the -TOP- of the wheel is moved -IN-
So it was hit in towards the car, something with a tall bumper.
-out at the bottom is unlikely so I skip it.

hard, the front...caster off that way shows the lower ball joint has moved -BACKWARDS- and caster shows that the lower has moved -OUT-.
-the upper is moderately likely...
this points to the lower flattening out and making the ball-joint further out and back from the car (center).


I would recommend you check the front radius rod also.

Best way to check everything is to take the wheel off and inspect everything that's how I found my bent lower control arm when I had that
