Please post a smaller sized picture.

I would not dive that car, have it towed to a shop and have it looked over by a mechanic.

Have you not inspected your car since April and been driving around on that? Get under the car and look around. If you don't know what you're looking for, take it to a shop. It could be anything.

Tried but place didn't do anything but what sucks is I have to drive it for 2 more weeks before I can do repairs

Jtisawesome

And tried to put smaller pic but didn't work and can anyone verify what it is cause I need it to last 2 more weeks like that cause from older posts its mostly lower control arm or subframe and I have a picture of the inside too if you want me to upload it

It looks like your tire is hitting the wheel arch, do you notice noise when turning hard in any direction? You car needs some serious attention, could be a danger to others as well as yourself if driven.

You wheel may want to pull into the wheel arch even more than what is in your pictures if it is rubbing.

It could be anything. Get under the car and at least TRY to look around. Take some pictures and post them. Hint; take the pictures at a lower resolution to start with.

^ Then set your damn camera to take smaller ones in the first place ...

*Although, it WOULD be nice if HT resized lg pics automagically - other sites do this.

Former User

LCA and/or subframe is bent. Sometimes the subframe damage isn't easy to see. I'd replace the LCA first, if it's still bent then look at the subframe and possibly the knuckle too.

Also, the LCA needs to come from an LX/EX (maybe HX as well) basically needs to come from a '96 - '00 with front swaybay (except '99 - '00 Si, they use a different style LCA)

Ok my friend is giving me a gsr lower control arm will it work for my car cause he saod it will

paigow

No bueno

gokus-eg2

had the exact same thing happen to me, they replaced lower control arm and shock.every case is different but try getting a replacement lca n see if it even fits in like it should n maybe go from there....

like the guy above says, every case is different. Main causes is bent lca and crushed chasis rail (where the sub frame mounts). most alignment shops will easily identify the cause.

a chasis rail that has been pushed back will have to be pulled forward by a specialised rig

Nope, needs to be '96 - '00 Civic.

Hey again as my old thread was about what was causing my tire to be pushed to the fender I cant tell if my subframe is bent or out of place and also my lca is crushing a bushing but I dont know if its part of the control arm or its a standalone bushing but Ill post pictures now and if anyone can resize them that would be helpful thanks

Why have you not taken this to a real shop to look at?
