Ok i hit a curb pretty bad.
It was with the Drivers side. The weel is siting back about 1 2 inches back from its original place and rubing the metal like crazy.....sounds bad to me but i am shure HT people have seen worse.
Do i need to change the lower control arm and am i loking at anything else to change?
Here is a picture of what i have.

Heres a pic of the driver side LCA...

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic
Looks pretty bent up to me

Is your rim and tire ok?

Check everything.you'll be needing an alignment and all that for sure. Get the car in the air though, you'll most likely have to change the LCA though, goodluck.

No the tire is not ok butt the rim is good butt a bitt banged up in that one spot.
I have 2 more spare rims with tires on them so i am good to go...

I havent had time to chek it out yet butt i peeked under the car and nothing looks snaped. I already found an LCA just have to go pick it up. What LCAs can work with an DC2 chassi......or suspension...? any more advice or hints..?

You most likely are going to need a lca just get a stock one! and if its really bad you will need a rack and pinion but you just might be able to get away with it, i hit a curb in my 98'' gsr pretty bad! at the track trying to pass a Lotus and swerved out i had to replace the front lca and rear drum assembly, still neads an alighnment but its not bad so gl.

holy **** man, how fast were you going when you hit that curb..... you need to go to an alignment shop and have that checked out. Hopefully you just bent the LCA...

My guess would be that you need a new LCA, strut, and maybe more.... you might have to replace the entire suspension on that side.

Good Luck

Kids, don't drink and drive. That rim looks like it's bent.

churning? My money's on the subframe being shifted, in addition to LCA damage. You will probably have to get the car on a frame machine at a body shop in order to verify if the subframe is still straight or not.

The rim isnt bent just has lil dent in it

Yeah i was churning and going a bit to fast...not gonna go into the story behind what happened....lets stay on the subject of getting the car fixed so i can drive to work LOL

The LCa is bent for shure. I took the wheel of today and its about an iinch and a half fom were its suppose to be. Ill find out once i install the LCA and measure it up and see if subframe indeed shifted or didnt....My money is on that it didnt shift lol

this is funny and sad at the same time i also have a 97 gsr same color and i hit a curb too and i had to replace the lower control arm and the knuckle and two rims and the inner and outer tie rods and an axle but after all that my caster is still messed up because the sub frame got knocked backed shitty good luck man

It is the drivers side

Slo96ex

In your original post it says you hit it with the passenger side...

You might have allignment issues with the fender, you van see where it was pushed back into the door. Change out that LCA and good luck.
