Hit a curb, crap look at this ****!!
I hit a curb with my right wheel at not more than 20mph and now look at this, I have neg camber on the right wheel. How do I check what parts are bent or broken? LCA is composed of two parts, which one would be Bent? Is the UCA a problem?

Crawl under the car and inspect as much as you can, the alignment shop will be able to point out to you what is wrong when they can't get it straight.

Holy Bent LCA Batman....!!! I "bounced" off a curb in a 60 mph sideways slide in an integra back in 98... made the passenger side of the car look like that Back to the Future car when it flies.... Oh Yeah... Never pick up shattered rotors cause you think they look cool... hot hot hot...

I took it to the shop and i have about 1degree of neg caster (cant remember exactly lost the damn paper). He told me to take it to a frame straightener but that means $$$. Anyone had this problem? What parts did you change?

your frame's not bent.. its your suspension parts that are bent. Don't listen to your alignment person.. that's all they do.. and knows **** about yr car.
What affects your caster is your LCA, whether or not the bushing is worn out.. or if the lCA is bent.. that wil throw off your caster like it shows on your car.. the other less obvious would be your spindle. You might just want to buy a complete front suspension off an integra from the junkyard... because it might be very hard to tell if a certain suspension part is bent or not. Also.. the upper arm can be bent also that would cahnge your caster reading.. but for an upper arm to be bent, that would mean that yr spindle and LCA r bent also.
Eitehr way, it's not your frame thats needs straightening.

Ok, your frame could be bent. I hit a curb in a parking lot going abour 20-30 and I had a 2 inch negative offset on my passenger side, along with a blow tire, rim, rotor and LCA. It sucks ***. I got the frame straightend and replaced all that ****. The car steers like **** now. Check your steering rack and tie rod ends too. Do it fast, do it right.
Wouldn't hurt to check your hub and bearing, steering knuckle, gonna have to get a 2 and 4 wheel alignment several times.....sucks. curbs own hondas

Re: Hit a curb, crap look at this ****!! (jetpilot)
i would look more at the sub frame than the frame... i have put a civic over a curb and into one at auto-x... and my friend has had similar incidents. 2 of them resulted in cracks in the sub frame.
