Found alignment problem!

Hi Guys,

I finaly found out why I can't get my camber set right.

It appears that I have one incorrect lower control arm and it is about 1/2 an inch shorter than the other one thus the reason I cant get enough adjustment out of the shim setting and thus why the wheel is too far inward at the bottom of the wheel.

The one that I am having problems with is the passenger side and it is different in several ways. There is more steel overhang at the shaft end, the "lip" is different and the bumpstop area is also different. The main difference is of course the length.

I used the shaft zerk fitting and the inside edge of the tire for reference.

Have a look at the pics and see if you can tell me what this control arm is from.

I intend on replacing the control arm but would like your comments.

Thanks, Mark.
