Subframe flex?

so I installed some subframe spacers a month back. I used a jack and jackstands. apparently, this caused the chassis/subframe to flex a little bit. for me, it flexed to the left a tad. i tried alligning the rear end myself(ruca, t/c rods, forward links) and the passenger side rear wheel still has a bit of toe in. so, i take her to the allignment shop. the toe in is still there. so i uninstalled the spacers. this time using a proper lift.

my question is; Will nature take its course and let the subframe settle back in its normal position if i drive without the spacers for a while?

btw, she feels sloppy as hell now. spacers do make a big difference. kids, dont install spacers with a jack and jackstands or you'll be look like a jackass like me.
