it must be done at an alignment shop, they use spacers to move the control arm forward or to the back

well the car has been wrecked on that side so i guess it would be safe to say it might be bent. should i take it to have it checked out before i go buy new ones and could they tell me if it is bent

yes the alignment shop will know if its bent or not, because they wont be able to align the car with a bent arm
