control arm assembly failure

i had just gotten my tires replaced, and maybe about 4,000 miles after that i started getting a slow leak in one of tires. i took it back to the place i got the tires and they said they would fix the tire and go ahead and rotate the tires. well when they rotated the tires the driver side tire had been worn so bad they didn't recommend drive on it anymore. they said it was a bad ball joint and that it was a very common problem with dodge calibers. than i found this site. i heard that the first time aluminum rims are taken off of a car they really hard to get off. could this have caused the problem? i was just wondering if anybody else only got this problem after they had their tires replaced?
