Problem with lower control arms

RE: Problem with lower control arms
I THINK I HAVE FOUDN THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the sway bar!!
Just went outside and jacked the car up. Measured the LCAs. They were exact same at stock.
I did notice they were sitting sideways a little bit.
I then had the idea to loosen the antisway bar from the wheel assembly and sit the car back down on its tires.
I pulled the car forward and back a few times and the issue has seemed to go away. The bolts for the antisways for sure have moved a little as well.
Car is currently up on ramps for me to retighten the sway bar - (a thunderstorm has haulted that for today)
Apparently the axle moved enough installing the LCAs that it affected the sway bar's attachment points. Basically the sway bar was bolted too far toward the outside pushing things out of alignment. I did install the sway bar first before the LCAs and I did have it on ramps when I put the sway bar on, but this indeed seems to be the cause.

RE: Problem with lower control arms
its great that you may have fixed the problem.
crazy al, you are right, i wasnt sure how to address the toe in issue because there was no mention of the left side having any problem, i wouldnt know how one side could be effected and the other not.
