'87 Wheel about to fall off!
It seems as if my front right wheel is going to fall off..... (bit of exaggeration) but it has so much camber and also makes a banging noise almost as if somethings really loose when i hit bumps.. It had an alignment done really recently.. and i noticed it a couple weeks after..
What could it be? The lugs are tight, everything looks alright.. Could it be control arm bushings? tie rod bushings? wheel bearing? bent control arms? Ive no clue! But its awfully sketchy..

You have to jack it up and look at it, and pull on it. Otherwise, we're all just guessing.
And my guess is a failed ball joint; that would cause the wacky camber and the noise.

I would take it back to the shop you had it aligned at. Most shops have a warranty on all of their services, ask about it. The place I go to has a 90 day warranty on ALL jobs they do. I took it back for a bad distributor and they put a new $400 one in at no charge to me.
