So a friends 90 Supra had a run in with a curb and both left wheels hit. As it turns out all the front end components are still good other than the wheels. The rear end strut and strut mount where damaged and replaced, everthing looks fine but when he had it aligned the furthest the rear camber could come in was -1.7 degrees. So my question is what is the most likely piece to bend and can it be checked without replacement?

It is lowered 1 inch. The passenger side was able to be aligned correctly but not the driver side. So right now both sides are at -1.7.

well, when the wheel bearings go (which won't be long), get under there and check out what has bent. Signs of the axle carrier bending should be obvious - you will see flaking paint/rust where bending has occurred. Remove the suspension arms and check for straightness, and go from there.
