I don't really remember when the camber adjustment went away.  If the shop

manual shows that the camber is adjustable, copy and show the alignment 
section to the shop that did the alignment so that they can do it
properly.

Was the new control arm a factory or an aftermarket part?  I'm wondering
if 
the replacement parts have the adjustability that the original factory
parts 
had.  You can check this yourself by looking underneath for the eccentric 
washers with alignment markings.
