??? why are you replacing the lower control arm? you hit something? that explains the alignment issues, and if your replacing suspension parts it's safe to say you're gonna need an alignment afterwords

not razzing you for a lame question, I'm just concerend that if you hit something hard enough to bend the control arm, you could have tweaked other parts or mounting points making it even more difficult to align your car, if your on stock suspension and replaced the arm with OE parts then something is out of wack, you might need a trip to a frame rack

i'd look at the struts on the rear first before jumping to the frame conclusion. alot of manufacturers put crush points on the shock to dissipate some energy before the frame bends.
