Bad Ball Joints And Rubber Bushings Cause Alignment Problems....
If you get new shocks that may solve your alignment problem............but bad ball joionts are the most likely culprit..........plenty of cars have bad ball joints.......I check ball joints at no cost if you want to bring it over.............and I don't just shake 'em and sell 'em......I will show you the difference between good ones and bad ones........you can save some money since springs usually don't wear out.............my '89 has original springs modified to lower the car.........
Cars lowered more than about 1 1/2 " usually need camber kits.
Less than 1 1/2" can usually be done with stock adjustments.......
I'm the only one on TR who knows how to carefully and properly measure suspensions........as evidenced by other postings. Here is the link:

.........and the amount a car is lowered varies per individual car......my car is 3" lower with stock adjusters and careful measuring......with no blown shocks, no beat up suspension and no springs flopping around,,,,,,the pictures have been seen by hundreds of people at car meets...........I will be at JDM this weekend if you want to see the car........
Control arms don't usually need replacing, but a complete re-bushing
kit will also help your alignment, as plenty of cars have worn out rubber
bushings. New rubber will improve the handling......I have all the presses needed to re-bush a car.......
Low cost Tokico shocks or higher cost Skunk2 shocks work for a lot of cars that I work on.........only spend as much as you can..........take time to search the internet for the best prices........ some dealers give free shipping.......... since I don't push any particular brand, I always recommend that people buy their own parts at the lowest price.......if you are quoted a price that includes installation, ask what the price is if they don't install it....and then get back with me for a low cost quality installation..........
A brand name part bought over ebay is a good deal, but an unknown brand over ebay is usually not good......-Bob
