whats the best way to check?

if the wishbone was bent, would it bent its mounting points?

Also check for signs of damage behind the front bumper, the inner wing/chassis leg and where it all joins the bulkhead.

its unlikely that it would bend its mounting points, but changing a strut and a wishbone are fairly easy jobs. The best way to check is just to look at it and see if there are any obvious signs of damage

just measured up and they look straight
must be tracking

if wishbones bent or any other geom,grab your self a tape rule.jack up one side at a time and remove both front and rear wheels.you will need 2 people for this.measurment from center of your front hub,to the center of your rear hub or stub axle(rear discs or drums).then do the same for other side and check differences
