Message All of the bushings appears to be in pretty good shape.
I replaced the spring seats (and all of the other rubber hardware associated with mounting the shocks) recently and it didn't appear to make any difference.
It seems kind of unlikely that my lower control arms would have somehow gotten longer, right?
I suppose it's possible that the part that connects the upper arm to the spindle might have gotten bent slightly... But it seems unlikely that it would have done so on both sides and pretty much evenly on both sides, right?

If you'd be interested in helping diagnose it, I can pull one of my front wheels off and snap a couple pictures and post it in technical. Maybe someone will be able to seem something that has just escaped my notice?

The last alignment I got left the car at -1.8 on either side, and the control arms on both sides were extended as far as they could go. Unfortunately, the jackasses at the shop stripped out the adjustment gear on the arms and didn't tighten the bolts on top enough, so the arms slipped back slightly before I noticed and could tighten them down enough. And now I can't adjust them all the way out again very well either. I need to get them replaced, but I don't want to put on new arms and still not have my camber in spec.
