I have a nonPP mustang gt and got in an accident months back which mostly affected suspension parts and the shop repaired everything. Once the car was returned I noticed the driver side wheel had awful negative camber. I told the shop about it however they blamed my lowering springs and said the front doesn’t have adjustable camber. I looked at the part list and they threw on only one PP front rear control arm on the driver side. All the other parts were nonPP. So since the side in question is where they put a PP part can that be the cause of the really bad negative camber and misalignment?

Thanks for any information!

Short answer: no. That doesn't appear to be an oem arm.

not remotely the same/correct part. Take it off and beat them over the head with it.

Haha sounds better than my plan. I already contacted my insurance and the shop. They are going to take care of it.
