recently due to the bad weather i slid into a curb at about 5mph, it was still a nasty knock and the car wasnt right after so i got it on the ramp and there was nothing noticable so anyway i put new wishbones and balljoints on both sides, the camber did look better but still doesnt look perfect will getting it tracked up adjust camber also ??? or does anyone have any idea what else could be damaged thanks luke

unlikely but it could of bent your hub
at work we had a polo that hit a curb knackered wishbone sterring arm and then we found the hub was slightly bent
it was aonly a tiny bend but it made a noticeable difference
 
yes it would need all cambers Castor's wheel alignment set again
u may have bent a hub but ull no when u get it on the 4 wheel laser gauges as there will be one side miles out also did u not damage a wheel ?

Camber and alignment can be upset in any minor collision/pothole impact. It's a good reason to get your vehicle's geometry checked on a yearly basis or as soon as you feel something is not right.

The replacement of shocks, springs and other suspension components can also alter the geometry so always get it checked after such work is carried out.
