Hello everyone,

My clean rustfree V8-quat was taken off the road into a ditch "hard"a few years back....driving it after resulted in very easily acquired squeal and incredible wear(scrubbing) at the front right inner tire and it looks very pitched in on top and pitched out on the bottom.....
Took it home popped the tire off and found that the control arm was severely bent....but after some half baked measurements could not find anything else wrong
so far i have swapped out and over  from known good parts car.
control arm 
and  entire front strut assembly .....but none of it stops this thing from scrubbing the tire....anybody think i could need a new sub-frame?.....it drives but i will need a tire endorsement soon.
Eric
