well i hydroplaned into a curb. fixed and put on a new wheel. the control arm is pushed back and now my wheel isnt balanced between my fender so it looks like the wheels almost touched the back back part of my fender. any ideas? thanks

 

get a new control arm?

 

is that all i need? i was going to do a rear disk break conversion from an integra so i guess thats what i'll do with the front

 

have you not jacked it up to look at it?

 

x2. You need to get under the car and look. We can throw a guess out there all day, but you are the one there. Look at the lower control arm and where it attaches to the car. Compare how it looks to the passenger side and that should show you whats bent. It's probably going to be the lower control arm and/or the mounting points on the car. Good luck.

 

classic bump!

my friend has this problem now

after checking the front lower control arm we saw that it is bent so we replaced it but the result is the same

any other parts to check?

spindle? upper arm?

any help would be appreciated

 

Just get a new lower control arm I did the same **** in the snow this year simple fix.

 

I did this as well.... and it was not a simple fix. The car was technically "totalled" because the frame was actually bent out of shape(Fixable for about $2200 even though the strength of the frame could never come back). You could be ****ed, you could not. Either way, we now know the consequences of crashing our cars. They can't always be fixed. Try the control arm, if it doesn't work, have a good unibody shop look at it for you.

 

its ur cross member.. i wreched my crx a few years back just like this but i couldnt even move the car because the tire was in the wheel well.. i had to change the control arms and nuckle and cross member..

 

Bump for the OP to look underneath to confirm.

 

im looking into this culprit





hope this fixes the **** outa my car

 

I have the same problem with my Integra also. I replaced the LCA and its still the same. I got a alignment shop check and do a alignment. They said if I want it to look back to normal I need to switch out the knuckle since its bent. Try that out first.

 

same thing happend to me i had to replace the whole thing

 

I know this post is old *** hell but i had the exact same problem I already had the chassis frame replaced and last thing is the lower control arm and if none of those things work ill have to get a frame alignment which is around $600 to over $1,000 at the auto body shop so **** it
