Default alignment!

sooo my driver side tire getting inner tire wear

due to the fact that i hit my lower control arm. sooo ordered a new one and some new SPL bushing while at it ^^

NOW for the fun stuff.. it was making a grinding noise over every bump.

found the culprit! the metal frame part? that the lower control arm is attatched to was BENT and was making contact with the control arm.



i took a pry bar and bent it back as close as i could get it to replicate the other side.

after all this i got an alighment done (without replacing the lower control arm yet)



a little off where it was hit and bent. but this causes tire wear. so my next step is to replace the control arm. but i am thinking even if i replace the arm i will have no change in alighment.. since the control arm attatches to the part that was bent, that if its not perfectly bent back to the correct position that it will not fix the neg. camber issue i am having with just this one wheel.

how would i go about fixing this???

thanks!
