I just checked it on the setup system and I'm pretty sure one side is 2 degrees more than the other ...

What parts should I check out that could be bent or semi broken?
And to fix the toe back to normal , should I change the steering link length or should I add spacers to the rear arm mount thing?

Thanks in advanced
Check the suspension mount screws. They can bend in a hard impact and throw off the alignment. Check these after any run with a impact. If the screw wobbles around when you loosen it, replace the screw.

Make sure the aluminum suspension mounts aren't bent.

Check that the servo horn/saver didn't move and that the turnbuckle didn't bend or get yanked out of the ball cups a bit.

Always a good idea to check the bearings after a good hit. The outer wheel bearing are the ones that tend to have an issue first. If one side is binding more than the other, it will usually pull toward the side with the bind.
