I took my '69 Bird in to get new tires and an alignment, and the Sears guy said that they couldn't do the alignment because the LH lower control arm was "bad". Now I'm no expert on suspensions, but unless it was bent or cracked, I can't imagine a control just being bad. The wheel is sitting with A LOT of negative camber, my estimation is 5-10 degrees. The tire squeels like I'm running from the cops on gentle 5 mph turns. I know the front end is messed up, but is it really a "control arm" problem, or does it make more sense to be ball joints, bushings or springs? All of which tend to be a lot cheaper than an new control arm
