HondaCivic2006

I have an 2006 civic Si. wanted to know if anybody knows of a website or a book that has the step by step play of camber adjustments and measuring camber.
the suspension is stock, and i kno that there isnt too much lee-way +/-, but to make a long story short, i hit a curb, and either the lower arm is damaged, (which one of my friends inspected and couldnt find anythin, no dents or bent areas) or me hittin the curb messed with the camber. the dealership said it was gonna cost 692.80 for a replacement of the lower arm, so if worst comes to worst, i'll bring it to the dealership ( if my friend isnt able to replace it himself), but i want to check the camber first to see if thats the problem, before i spend 600 bucks on replacing a new arm.

Best way to do it would be to bring your car into a shop that does alignment, unless your friend can do it. I don't know of any other method of measuring camber without the rack that these shops prop the car on.

the warranty wouldn't cover replacing a bent control arm.

op: as already mentioned, try to get an alignment first. if that doesn't work, look for a control arm at a junkyard. replacing it should be pretty easy with basic tools.

the thing is, i got an alignment done, but the car wobbles like ****. apparently they did "the best they could to get the car straight"
but i jus want to exhaust all possibilities before i start spendin money for a new arm. i'd probably have to take it to the dealership or something cause i or my friend doesnt own a spring compressor.

Well given the your current situation, you're going to have a scavenge for a new arm.

if your car wobbles then u bent a wheel,or the balance of of all or one of ur tires are off. alignment issues cause tire wear
