A8 Bent Suspension -- How to Troubleshoot?

[Paul Waterloo]

So yes, I verified that after I hit a pipe sticking out of the ground the
other day, my wheels were now sticking out (toe out on the right front
wheel). Last night I adjusted my right side tie rod to at least bring it
back in somewhat, it had to be moved about an inch.....I hope I made the car
safer, not more unsafe.....

There are four control arms, how would one go about troubleshooting it? I'm
sure the A4 and A6 suspension is similar, somebody had to have a similar
problem before.....

Where can you get the car aligned? At any place or at an Audi dealer only?

TIA

CV joint boot)
