... at around 60 mph hit the curb, in fact I went on it with all 4 wheels. I know, it's my fault but let's see what we've done shall we?

I see a postive camber on the rear left wheel, maybe 5~10 degree or so. When braking and reversing at the same time I hear rubbing sound but not under normal braking or going forward, only reverse.

So docs, what's the damage?

check lower control arms all the way around the car. Also check oil pan, exhaust, and possible tranny housing damage.

Do they have computers in County?

I think, luckily, that there was no on coming car and people near the curb.

I don't see anything leaking, it's been parked for at least 2 hours. How do I know if there is anything wrong with my LCA? it LOOKS okay.

sweet.. now u can lower yr car more.. without having to worry about camber kit.. ahhaha

probably bent everything.. to be honest with u in yr suspension. yr best bet is to go to a junkyard and buy every part of an integra's suspension. shouldnt be too much.. ex.. rear lca, trailing arms, the two lil upper and lower arm on the trailing arm. taht should be good.. should run you about 300 max for the rears..
or if you wnat to go cheap, you can just buy an adjustable rear camber kit.. and pull it back all the way till it aligns properly, but i dunno bout u.. i would feel uneasy knowing that im still driving with bent suspension parts.

Loveless

how do I tell for sure?

mingchi69

well there's definately something bent... but there's reallie no way of telling.. except to take off yr suspension parts and compare it to one that's not bent.... but even then, it might be reallie tough to tell.. or you can just replace one thing at a time. too much work though.. but.. if u're up to it
how's the fronts?

Well about 3 weeks ago I was in a similar bind.... took a turn way too fast, slammed into a curb and flew up onto it as well. I also had postive camber on a rear wheel and some toe out. Turned out to be a bent rear trailing arm. After talking to a few mechanics and Honda people I know, it turns out to be a common problem and that Honda/Acura rear trailing arms are weak. You may want to take it to an alignment shop and they should be able to tell you if the trailing arm is bent well before starting an alignment, they would just need to get it up on a lift (don't let them charge you). New trailing arm from Honda/Acura is a bout $290 so I opted to buy a whole new used rear disk set to replace my rear disks and sold them to a friend. Good luck, my money is on the trailing arm, but with suspension you never know- get it checked out. Hopefully its something cheaper but if its not maybe that will be all you have to replace.

you should take your wheels off and check the inner rim of it, cause when i hit a curb i broke a huge *** **** piece of it

Loveless

thanks for everyone's help and support

what does this trailing arm look like? I really do not want to spend extra money to get it looked at and I'm afraid if I take something apart, I can't put it back. I can still drive the car right now so that's probably a good thing right now.

hahaha right on!!!

Probably trailing arm. If you don't have it apart yet then you're probably not the type who should be working on it anyway. Take it to a shop.

Loveless

Actually I have no problem taking things apart and putting them together, My concern is that of taking apart a bent part and unable to put it back due to its deformed nature.

bryan305

If you can't put it back together because it's bent, you should be replacing it anyways.

I can sell you the entire suspension (minus springs/shocks) from a 95 GSR for that side if you need replacement parts. Let me know.

Loveless

how much for trailing arm?

ill phil

Like I said in my above post- around $290 or so from Honda was what I was qouted.

Loveless

what's the chance of it being nothing more than bad alignment?

Doubtful. Bad alignments don't make funny noises. Moreover, 5-10 degrees is waaaay more than being a little out of spec.

You need at least a new wheel from what I could see in your pics.

Tweakmeister

pop off the wheel and take pictures.

I have a few ideas of what it is..there are only so many pieces that connect to the wheel hub.

Loveless

I'll do that this weekend, toommorow is my b day and I want to be in a not so bad of a mood.

In the mean time I took some photos of the damage I've caused to the curb.
