Car won't align properly, bent arms maybe?

Hi all,

A few years ago, I installed the 19" rays wheels on my 03.0 sedan. After a month, I put back the old stock 17's. Ever since, my car alignment has never been the same. My tires wore out every few months and I had it aligned multiple times all of which were unsuccessful (camber and toe weren't meeting standards). My last alignment lasted me just about over a year, but I noticed a lot of inner wear recently. Anu suggestions? Should I have the control arms replaced and if so should I go with stock or after market?

Thanks!

Also if something was bent or broken the shop doing the alignment would have told you that because they would not be able to align the car properly unless they don't know what they are doing.

With the front of the car on jack stands. Face a wheel and rock it toward and away from you. If theres play thats ur problem.

Could be a bent arm or something. Take it to a dedicated suspension shop to see if they can spot anything wrong.
