I put my new control arm on... I hit a curb last week and bent the control arm, and i put a new one on just earlier but the tire is slanted(kinda like this \\ for the right side tire) and the left side stood perfectly fine.... nothing else seem to be bent or out of place, do i just need an alignment to fix this problem?

 

please help!!!

 

Front or rear?

Sure its not from the wheel being bent?

If its front,then your excess camber is caused by a bent spindle or strut.There isnt really a way to correct camber.The upper mount can be turned to 1 of 4 positions,but it also affects caster.The only readily adjustable item is toe.

If its rear,then your axle is bent,could be the flange or the housing itself.

 

Justin, an alignment probably won't fix it, I'd look and make sure nothing else is bent, like perhaps the spindle?

life sucks....... anyone have a extra spindle for 84-85? I would bring the car to my friend's shop and see what sup....
