90 degrees? Seriously?

That'll require more than an alignment.

Deff more wrong than your alignment....maybe something bent on the impact. Not like you need me to tell you but be safe and drive slow till you get it checked out.

Probably needs a new SZL (has to be programmed as well), if needed bent suspension component(s), and an alignment. Customer pay, or insurance.

...and this is exactly why I feel so much easier driving in Maryland since I moved down here from New York Metro a week ago.

My current car only spent a total of 2000 miles there, BUT I hated driving my car up there, it was a game of dodging potholes!!!

Red brake sign can also indicate low brake pressure. Look for leaks.
