Fish tail effect ..Help
The glare of the rain made it hard to see the pot hole.. to make the long story short.. I had to replace my rear passenger side control arm...
Now the car is fishtailing when every time there's a bump on the road..
I looked at the wheel and it's slightly angled like this --> \
Took it back to the shop and guy tells me that it's a frame problem..
Is he correct, i'm very hesitant to believe him......
Any inputs on how to fix this?

Welcome to my world. In my case, it was more of the control arm than the frame damage itself, so replacing it helped.
The bad part about having frame damage is that the control arm can only be moved so much to compenstate for the misaligned wheel. You could jack up the car and take a look at how far back the control arm is and try to readjust it, but its a bitch.
Or just take it to another body shop and get a second opinion.
