had a bit of a mishap over chrimbo time involving a spin into a curb at 50-60 mph, bent rear beam, stub axel and mash a wheel bearing. Not had the tracking checked or replaced the beam yet (i'm lazy). The car feels vague sometimes in the steering and sometimes its spot on and it tramlines more that usual  I know the bent beam will contribute, but when its all straight again (soon) the tracking and camber will need checking and sorting yes ?
I have sod all knowledge of setting suspension up

need afjustable top mounts or excentric bolts to adjust the camber. I hav supposed to be getting mine done today but garage is really busy with breakdowns so it might be tommorrow now.
replace the rear beam then get the tracking done and see how it is

will do, plan of action is:
Change beam
Fit braided hoses
New wheels (bent 2)
track rod ends
20 xe conversion
New brakes all round
New suspension
... Should keep me out of trouble

Better to get TCA's with rod ends on for adjustin gcamber, but not one seems to make them at the moment less you fancy it yourself.
And standard springs and eccentric top mounts is a no no
