The component they are referring to (commonly called a wishbone) is not necessarily bent, but comes in different dimensions to get the camber in specification. There is a standard dimension part, plus + & - value wishbones. The 'outsize' components give a +/- 30min value around the standard part number dimensions.

Hope that helps a bit on the technical side.

Just spoke to service manager, and he told me that the Control Arm is actually not bent but the technician thinks that putting on one that is a fraction shorter will straighten out the camber... which is a bit frustrating since we are not even 100% sure it will and I have to spend $600 for it to just find out.

Normally when a car is out of alignment what do they do to fix it?
