Did alignment and noticed that on one corner, the toe will swing wildly whenever the camber is being adjusted. The other corners did not exhibits this behavior, the toe varies just slightly while camber is being adjusted so I suspect this a sign of bent arm on one corner side.

I have been tracking with this anomaly and wondering if there is anything to be gained by replacing the arms just so I can get symmetrical alignment.

I also wonder if there is any handing impact to bent wheels?

Thanks

Several of my wheels on my race car are slightly bent, but not so I notice when I drive the car, and the tires balance easily.

Now, I have bent wheels going over curbing so that I could feel the shimmy, and I got rid of those wheels (cheaper to get new wheels than to un-bend bent wheels).

So, IMO, a slightly bent wheel is not an issue. A more-than-slightly bent wheel can be an issue.

Agree with Mark above. I'd be more worried about the bent arm -- less about how it affects alignment, and more about it being weakened and more prone to failure.

x3 Bent Wheel will not be an issue.

Which corner are you having issues with. The front has independant adjustments for camber and toe, but the was the rear suspention is designed....if you adjust toe, camber will change and vise versa.

It doesnt sound like a bent arm. Usualy if somethin has a slight bend in it, you will not be able to correct the alignment.

ex: it your front lower control arm is bent, you might only be able to get -.2 degrees of camber but will go as high as +.4.
