I looked closer and its hard to tell but it may be the control arm perch/seat thats bent not the arm.

your pictures confirm the issue i have going on, the guy put these pieces on wrong, two are straight and two are turned the wrong way

The red bushing are not the same material so i dont think they would do like the black originals, The bushing were on the control arms... i bought 4 control arms from another truck and put them on my truck

EDIT: Reading other forums, poly bushings DO NOT crush or squish down

 

Like i initially stated that AFTER i got all the parts installed i drove to go get Brand new tires, got the tires, drove it to the tire shop with an alignment machine, it DID NOT Pull from where the control arms were put on, to the tire shop, then went to the other place with the alignment machine and it did not pull, he put it up on the machine, it said it was off, loosened up the nuts holding in the top and he moved it out, and its been pulling since then.......

so what im saying is, if it was not pulling before the alignment and this dude did what he did, i dont see it being a part problem, the adjustment was not right and now needs to be re-aligned after having These pieces straightened out

* Piece i have Circled *

Glad the Pic's helped I try to take as many Pic's as I can every DIY I work on.


I know it helps many out as a reference


Your problem may be they didn't tighten the nuts down 100% so the arm slipped and changed first ride or too much oil in the area not cleaned off before installation.


I was very surprised when I pulled my arms when finish my truck drove great no pull at all but I got an alignment anyway.

 

got the alignment done at another shop, drove it down the road and its smooth like butter...... too many days of downtime and too much money spent

 

' One ' more possibility... your wheel bearing/hub.

 

the red bushing are squeeking just like someone said they would, they told me a way to make them quiet, but i forgot, gonna check it out later, straight and smooth so im not mad, i just crank up the radio and tune out the squeeks

 

I may have tried to warn you off them cant remember yes they squeak all the time not worth it. only way to get them to stop is lube them up but how to get the lube inside the bushing is the hard part you almost need a zerk fitting on all the bushings. They were never meant for daily drivers but racing.


I warn everyone away from them but no one listens then the squeaking starts then they know.


Replaced my bushings with OEM rubber front end is very solid and tight no need for red plastic crazy squeaking devils and the ride is quiet not the squeak from hell. Sorry


The difference is OEM is molded inside the bushing all the flexing or movement in the bushing is the rubber flexing the red devils its different all the movement is now in the joint not the bushing the bushing is now like a bearing and the bearing material is the plastic so the plastic will squeak if not lubed up well but how to keep it lubed up that's the problem no zerk or any way to get a lubricant deep inside the bushing/bearing so now you are stuck constantly spraying lubricant on the bushing. OEM BUSHING no lubricant need EVER I may ad OEM bushings keep road vibrations away from the driver keeping him quiet red devils don't they tend to transmit road vibration onto the driver.
