Default 91 Crx front suspension problems

This is the problem Im having ever since I brought the car the passenger side wheel has been pushed back towards rear of the car. Sometime when accelerate hard it pulls a lil to the right and also during hard braking. When you look at the LCA it sits about 1 inch back and the sway bar ends is slanted instead of upright. So I changed the LCA and bolt on everything accept for the Radius rod. Now heres where it gets weird the radius rod end doesnt line up with the new LCA its about 1/2 inch from where its suppose to bolt on, the radius rod end is still back at the point where the old LCA was?

what should i do next?

I was thinking could it be a wrong part? like a wrong bushing? because I was playing with the radius rod and when I removed the bushing it line up properly. Cound I use a thinner bushing?

Measure the car to key points when you have it on jack stands! Make sure it is the same and nothing is still bent. Also check all bushings.

Take it to a colision shop where they have a frame machine.
They can measure it and even straighten it.
It is not that expensive.
