Default Alignment issue 99 Civic

I took my 99 Civic to a reputable alignment shop this week. They said they could not align the car and that a body shop needed to look at it.

I'm getting this second hand as I was not there but the measurement print out says there is an issue with the rear axle individual toe and the front axle caster (10 degrees).

The Front axle castor measurement is the real issue as it is -1.77 and +0.56 degrees where the target is +1.67 degrees.

My son was driving the car a few months ago and hit a curb hard enough to bend the front drivers rim. I'm almost sure there is why it can't be aligned. The rim was replaced a month ago with a new one.

I inspected the car where the steering knuckle meets with the upper and lower control arm but couldn't see any visual problems.

Can anyone provide any assistance on how to proceed?
