4kq hurt by Chebby truk!!



Hello and I hope everyon is having a better year than I am...
Saturday evening whilst dirving my 4kq around a 2 lane on ramp.. 
I am cruising about 70mph having fun but being sensible..
I see the jerk in the next lane coming up fast... well next thing I know he's
practically hitting my passenger door. out of instinct I swerve away and 
crack the subframe, bend control arm, bend the strut... and completely thrown
off a great alignment!!

Needless to say I was a little upset...
Now I have a new TSW Hock on order for monday... $190
Looking for a subframe and possibly a strut....
'86 4kq BTW...

I took the car and aligned it...
Just set the toe... the Cambe was off somewhat but was in spec and they
were about to close...
My main question is will a variance of .5 degree of camber cause the 
car to feel loose???
This car used to feel glued to the road. 
Now if I hit a bump it feels like it gonna go where it wants to....

Please help!!!!
Does anyone have any performance alignment specs for a 4kq...
Front is set to .08 degree tow...
Rear is set to .18 degree toe.....

TIA!
