So i hit a curb last nite...... and as you may already know my alignment was way off,... took it to sears and had a re-alignment done but they told me nothing was bent,. my camber is still off bad! i believe i may need either tie-rod ends or a lower or upper control arm, any suggestions

 

Check your upper control arm, the upper ball joint may have been damaged, the control arm mounts/bushings may have been damaged or the arm itself bent. The lower joint may also be damaged but is less likely to cause camber issues then the upper. Jack up the car and put it in gear; grab the tire and torque on it, see if it clunks or wobbles.

 

do you just have bad camber wear? pulls to a certain side?

 

Take it back to them if it is not within the factory specifications. Is the suspension modified? If you get an alignment done, it should be withing factory specifications, if not, they should be able to tell you why they can not get it within the specifications.

 

no the car is definetly not within spec... i had reason to suspect it was a control arm issue, i think the guys at sears are dumbasses, theirs gotta be something bent, the car pulls hard to the right(passenger)side which was the side i curbed it on

When I lowered my car, my lifetime warranty at Firestone was $h!*. I did it with them about 5 times, then finally, my mechanic friend suggested I go to a guy he knows at Kramer tire. He got everything perfect for me after that.
