Hello everyone, i am new to LVC and i have 2002 lincoln ls, v6. I traded my 91 f150 for it 2 years ago and it has been a great car untell mid summer this year. Long story short i finally figured out that someone had put a lowering kit on this car and had slid te Right rear tire into something hard. I am doing complete rebuild of suspension front and back since most of control arm bushing are worn out I was able to get a hold of factory springs to bring ride height up to fix camber . Also control arms that were worn i replaced along with all links and tie rods. It has been re-aligned and still have issue with the right rear tire still seting inward at top????????? I measured frame to control arm ball joint on both sides of car and they dont measure the same, maby the frame is pushed in on right side????? At the same time it could be bent in other location to so i dont know what to do at this point....what do you guy think? I work in a machine shop as a fitter welder so i thought about installing custom upper control arm mounts that would fix problem but i dont want to throw off the suspension

Take it to a body shop with a frame straightener. They will be able to tell you if the rear is tweaked.
