So I recently had an allignment and was told that my rear driver side tire couldn't be adjusted and was bent so teh tires would have irregular wear. It is only off by like 4% so its nothing huge, but I notice the angle on the wheel and want to fix it.

If I replace my struts and springs and remove my monsterous subs from the trunk would that help?

Best place for Struts/Springs?

Check the bars:

The ones that run from left to right in the picture.
Check if they are straight it not then go to the salvage yard and get some from them.
And that should fix it.

Are you selling the Tokico blues w/ genuine tein springs?

Also, those are control arms right (in the picture)?

The arms the run left and right and an angle is the adjustment bar.
The bar closest to you is probably bent, check that.
The one in front of that is just a bar for placement.
The bar closest to you in the pictures i believe is for alignment.
The rear control arm in the thing in the bottom left of the picture, that lets the wheel part move forward and back.
The bar that runs left and right lets the wheel move left and right in the picture view.

To check that adjustment bar wit thread in the middle; you have to take the wheel off, and look at it that way, and check it in the view of my picture.

The rear control arm in the one in the left on the bottom.
You need to check the adjusment bar closest to you in the picture i posted.
You need to check in different angles.
If you just check the bar if it straight like in my picture you won't see it bent forward or back, you need to take off the wheel and check it like this:

^^^^
That is what it's suppose to look like.

Not like this.

You need to check if from the rear of the car like how i took my picture.

So I checked them with a ruler, and none of them are bent... what else could it be that is making it bend in like that? Its the driver rear, and none of those are bent. Everything seems fine.

have a bad spring? or what?

That could be it.....
But i don't think a bad spring would not let you align it though......

They couldn't align it.. the driver side rear wheel is tilted so it will be having irregular tread wear
