Went to an Indy for an alignment
and walked out with half of the job completed. Tech said that the passenger control arm was frozen and cannot be adjusted. The driver's side is fine. Am I stuck replacing a good, but unadjustable control arm or is the right control arm designed not to be adjusted? I know that the camber can not be adjusted on the AR. btw, I only have 49k on the clock, warranty expired 3 months ago

only the rears are adjustable, sounds as though your indy isn't quite up to par
the front camber, and sometimes as a side benifit the caster can be too, can be equaled by fiddling with the crossmember. otherwise toe only in the front. There are no adjusments on the front control arms.

He meant the front tie rod end is frozen. If so you should replace it and make sure you use plenty of never seize. I would do both. You will probably have to replace both the tie rod end and tie rod on the frozen side.
