1988 Iroc convertible (I think it’s a clone) 305tbi

Hello all, I got a problem and need some input.
Symptom: Pulls to the right when driving, don't let go of the steering wheel!!!!
Checks: Measured with a tape measure rear center wheel to front center wheel, both side of car.
Results: right side front wheel is 1.5 shorter than driver’s side.
Checks: pulled right front wheel to take a look at A-arm.
Results: notice that the stud that the front sway bar bolts to or mounted to its quite angled, compared to the drivers side and it looks about and 1.5 more and (this stud mounts to the lower a-arm then that stud mounts to the front sway bar).

So I scheduled an alignment (estimate) at tiny's tire in parkland for Saturday to see if I can get them to verify that the a-arm is bent, if so I will replace it with one from the bone yard. Then take it back for an alignment, of course I will have to get all new bushing as well.
It’s tough to tell, or see if the a arm is bent, but that post that comes straight up and mounts the say bar is definitely set back further than the drivers side.

1. Any other checks I can do here?
If I can tell for sure I'll tear it apart this week instead.
The strut doesn't look bent and tie rods aren’t bent, what do you think??
