Default bent control arm?

i recently put traded my 17's for some 16 inch wheels and got much thicker tires. with the thick tires, i notice a lot more about how they are positioned. they are all fine except my right rear is very off. i dont know if the guy before me hit something and i just now am seeing it or if i caused it and didnt realize it somehow. the wheel/tire is angled in towards the front left , making the rear of the wheel pull out. it has a lot of positive camber which you can see by looking at it. what im wondering is what do i have to look into replacing to get this thing straight? the control arm and the mount that comes back from the chassis? any help would be appreciated thanks

I would take it to an alignment shop. If they can't get it into specs, they will be able to tell you what needs replaced.

do they really do a lot with the rear when they do the alignment? i thought they just worked on the front

most cars require four wheel alignment. you ever get in an accident back there?

no accidents with me, but maybe the guy who had the car before me. if i replaced everything that could make the wheel bent how it is, what would the list consist of?
