I do most of my major service at a dealer to avoid situations like this but I'm wondering if the Indy Porsche shop did damage during an alignment. I took my car in for a alignment and when they were "finished" the numbers were still off so I told them to put it back on and fix it. One of the techs claimed there was an issue with a bolt getting stuck. Another tech got under and they were fiddling around on the rear and I heard a very loud pop. They claimed gravel was stuck in there and forced out. Should I take it to the dealer to inspect for damage?
Attaching the final alignment specs.

I would like them to even out with the rear toe and have the thrust angle at zero even though they show green
when the thrust angle isn’t as zero the car can push to either side under power
I’m not saying that a little bit off will make it happen but that’s something. I’m just OCD on
as far as the Popping noise that you heard it may have just been the One of the eccentrics Breaking loose
They can be a bitch, sometimes the break loose not the best design
Funny, I go to a trusted independent rather than a dealer to avoid situations like this.
If the car feels and runs fine then dont waste the time imho . numbers look solid.
Yeah I've heard Indy's are generally better but the fact they tried to give me the car back without the proper specs and only put it back on and corrected after I complained is concerning. I won't call out they Indy shop but there are known to be the best in the area when it comes to Porsche.
