How to tell if front control arms are straight

[Glocker]

Hi, is there anyway to tell if the front control arms are straight? I have a pair of DC2R arms and I want to find a way to get them checked before installing them and wasting money on labour and alignment again.

looking down on the arm measure from centre of the ball joint to the centre of the bolt that potrudes through the shock tower measurments should be 20cm give or take 5mm ive spent hours on the wheel alighner diagnosing my car after i had changed my bent arm with a slightly less bent arm so i measured i have odles of them lying around my shop and measured all to find a rule of thumb

Sounds a bit complicated but thanks! repped! I was also thinking about taking them to a machine shop and have them measured it all up
