alignment problem - low/uneven camber front left
I had my left side upper and lower arms changed due to bending something going off track. This is my second alignment since they were changed and I still can't get much camber on that side.
The right side will go to -1.8 degrees camber and under 6.0 degrees castor. The left side maxes out at -1.4 degrees camber and the castor stays high 6.5+.
We have to compromise on the camber and up the castor so the alignment I end up with is something like:
front camber: -1.4 degrees
front castor 6.5 degrees
front toe: 0
rear camber -2.4 degrees
The place that installed the control arms I would not go back to they left the abs line hanging and couldn't align it properly afterwards. I'm wondering if they could have done something wrong in the install?

They probably torqued down the arms with no weight on them. I believe that they are supposed to be torqued with the car's weight on them. This is probably causing the bushings to bind.
My (not so) educated guess.
