in my opinion, if something was bent, it would likely be the hinge pin. anything bent above the pins would be more likely to effect the camber if the pins are straight.

I have had differences in my toe settings before on a new hudy set-up station before. I believe that the toe blocks were inaccurate. this was several years ago(TRF 415/416 era) and since then, maybe Try Hard could back me up( but I think he has moved on to the "other" r/c car manufacturer), they have improved with the introduction of the newer "split blocks" and newer style toe blocks i.e. with italic lettering and the thicker design.

you wouldn't be using the older style blocks, would you? (just asking)

P.S. if you have a good crash you can still bend the ear of the rear toe block. this usually
is the case if you can move the arm forwards and backwards on the pin while everything is still attached to chassis. ( nothing to brag about but I have bent a fair share of bits )
