I would have them redo the alignment, the front chamber is adjustable, the rear is not.

You must have hit something pretty hard to knock off the alignment. Looks like maybe you hit the front driver wheel on something

Make sure they do a 4 wheel alignment with the same hunter alignment machine they previously used.

BCR's are great. I just had a conversation with an old friend who's probably put ~50k miles on his now and they're still running tough. He has his decently low (1 finger wheel gap) and he's pushed up the dampening pretty high also. Auto-X's every month or so, and he's had the struts on for i'd say 2-3 years now.
