Pothole throws your camber or toe off?

[Arman]

Can you hit one so hard to COMPLETELY throw your toe off and NOT your camber (camber is as perfect as the day you alighned the car)? or is that not even possible and something else is causing your toe to be all f*cked up?

TIA

maybe you bent a tie rod somehow

A pothole can cause a change in toe, as rob said its more likely it bent the tie rod. Or if your tie rods are original they are probably due for a replacement.

Brand new tie rods and rtabs in the rear, my front left and two rear toe is completely off, the shop tells me its not ANYTHING with the install and its me hitting a pothole. I say BS cause 1) I think camber should be affected also, 2) how in the world could I have hit 3 hotholes in less than 3 weeks (which I know by the way I haven't hit a single one).

something is bent....

I remember the rear control arm in my old m3 being completley bent, it really made the camber look messed up.

yeah, the pothole could throw the toe settings off badly.

i've once involved in the situation where i ended up hitting the bit ass pothole and bent my rim and such, took my car back to the alignment shop where i usually do the alignment, got everything back to the proper settings, but i still felt something was wrong, but i just didn't bother to fix it.
after i sold my car, the person who bought my previous car told me that the front controler arm was slightly bent.

yeah, those potholes can do such things like that, kindda scary everytime when i think about it....
