New lower control arms ('coffin arms' as some refer to) will renew your cracked "track arm coupling" bushings shown as presently being cracked, your ball joints, and the inner rubber bushings as well, which is where camber is typically adjusted via an eccentric mounting bolt.

Even if you mark and line up the eccentric bolts in exactly the same positions as they were before, you will *definitely* want to re-align the car afterward.

Jake I believe that's for the rear where the camber is adjusted through that bolt. The ones I'm replacing are in the front where the camber is adjusted through the top of the shocks (the little adjustment it allows) so camber wouldn't be affected.
