Okay, my question is... I know there is a lean or what ever on our car but does this sheet seem normal?

Why the flatbed? Looks like minor damage.

The toe for the right side looks good now, I always prefer a little positive toe, so it preloads the suspension.

If i remember correctly the car was hitting the fender and had lots of vibrations, so the wheels was off balance and was in a way not safe to drive. Insurance paid for it or at least the body shop did(sewell) so what does it matter

Insurance got my angry and took too long so i demanded to have it towed to the bodyshop. I didnt want the miles.

Also, the alignment was off or something because the car would vibrate really bad when i got up to 60.
