I highly doubt the toe-in was the issue unless he accidentally went toe-out. You say you did or did not change the traction arms prior to the event? If you did, that's likely the issue as they can affect bump steer. Where exactly was it loose? Entry? Mid-corner? Braking? Exit? All of the above? If you answered all of the above its most likely a toe situation unless there is something mechanically wrong/broken that you didn't notice.

I agree sounds more like toe out issue or something that is not right after accident. Too much rear bar can be problem too.

Pretty sure there's nothing wrong from the accident. Been driving perfect on the street even when pushing it. I feel the sway is goingto be the biggest thing. Toe will be check next Friday to ensure. Thanks for everyones help.
