Alignment can be off even if you hit a pothole hard enough let alone taking the suspension out.
You can thank the idiot who said installing lowering springs doesn't require an alignment for ruining your tires.
Those tires should be replace RIGHT NOW
You are taking a risk of still driving the car even around the corner.
Once your tread is separated from the side wall you can order a new rim along with your new tries


^^^^^ This.


You need to get that camber corrected quick or you will wear out a brand new set of tires in no time.

Also, a transmission inspection is basically checking the fluid level. Don't fall for any dealer crap. Take the car to a private garage if out of warranty.

Just want to put this out there,
Camber is not adjustable on our vehicles from factory.
Toe is what needs to be adjusted after any suspension work so it tracks straight so the tires does not scrub funny.
