Another camber issue

So I recently was informed that the previous owner to my evo slid it into a curb I took it to alignment shop again and had stock IX GSR Springs and Struts installed. Everything went well except for this...



The guy who did my alignment can only figure one thing. He suggested that my LCA is slightly bent to the point where its not visual to the naked eye. Everything else checked out fine. I just had him order the new LCA... Anyone else feel like the LCA is causing this or would there be some frame damage? HELP!

An error of 1* in camber is 0.25in over a 15inch spread which is what Im roughly guessing the control arm spacing is from my desk at work. Id think you would be able to see something bent with a deflection of 0.25in. Just a thought..

He also thinks the rubber bushings could be messed up as well

tape measure and just start measuring and comparing one side to the other. it shouldn't be hard to figure out. you could even get the front caster on by adjusting the cradle.

If the bushing is bad then you will have movement. There will be play back and forth. I doubt that there is a bend not visable to the naked eye. I'm pretty sure that if the car was taken into a curb then you would see the damage. Like it was stated, try measuring things out.
