I have done this work to vehicles both with adjustable control arms which you adjust the length of each one and the easy as pie non adjustable stock ones that you just swap.


So when you replace the control arm the ONLY possible change would be the position left side to right side of the axle/axles, so its centered under the car.
that's it.
The car was aligned using 92,000 mile old, worn rubber bushings. Throw in new, tight bushings and the control arm position is a little off, which will throw the alignment a little off.
