Default new control arms, lost -camber?

I went off track in my 03 and the left side landed pretty hard. My left side caster was reduced badly so I figured something was bent and replaced both left side control arms with parts from an 05.

Now everything is fine with the caster but where I could get -1.8 camber my guy could only get -1.4. The right could still get to -1.8. Its not a disaster we just set both sides to -1.4 and increased caster and the alignment is fine.. just wondering it anyone knows what might have happenned?

Theres no difference in the control arms between 03-05 is there?

If I remember correctly you can position the adjustment cams 2 different ways. One way gives you more camber than the other.

possible that your control arms were a little bent before and giving you more camber from rough roads and pot holes? Buy a camber kit and be done with it!
