Hi All
I am the very proud owner of a 2010 LR4. I’ve had it for a year now.
I finally got around to installing new front control arms. After watching multiple YouTube University videos, I was feeling pretty confident. Long story short. Don’t know what I was doing wrong. But the job kicked ass. After the installation pain. I took it to my local tire and wheel specialist for an alignment. The mechanic stated that the drivers front side was incredibly out of alignment and he did his best to get them as close to perfect as possible. The car drives straight, zero wobbles at higher speeds. The steering wheel is now not straight. It’s .5 of a degree out to the right. Mechanic said he couldn’t adjust it any further. Said I may need new tie rods. But the wheel was fine before the control arms replacement.
Did I screw up on the cam bolts??
Any thoughts?
Thank you. This my first post. Happy to be part of the community.

Believe it or not. I've see it before.
The arms were swapped and upside down.
The arms should slip right into the frame mounts when installing.
