hit curb> pushed wheel towards fender 1-2 inches> suggestions?
info:
00 ej8 coupe
i was driving then i hit a curb on the driver side during the rain. results> pushed my wheel towards the fender probably an inch or two from stock location
upon first inspection of my own> I noticed LCA was bent.
Gotten a new lca that wasnt bent> fixed part of the issue (drove a little better) but didnt fix the part where my wheel is closer to fender
Upon second inspection of my own> i took lots of pics and everything looked like it is symmetrical with the passenger side but obviously something is still wrong since the driver side wheel is still an inch or 2 closer to fender than stock location.
After i replaced Lca i went straight to firestone to get an alignment (Lifetime alignment @ firestone) and here are my specs:
Ive tried googling my best, but every situation is different.
My BLIND diagnose(aka my educated guess) is spindle / tie rods / maybe the second piece to the lca may need to be changed. subframe looks straight but like i said im not a honda guru so im all guessing.
im going back to firestone soon to get another alignment because after the first 1 i gotten new knuckles hoping that was the case but it wasnt.
and then im going to a frame shop, theyre just to busy to deal w/ me atm so ya. any educated opinion is welcome. I already accepted what ive done and im just trying to fix it within 3 months so i can go to college.

Re: hit curb> pushed wheel towards fender 1-2 inches> suggestions?
the spindles / knuckle was replaced from a different car.
only replaced driver side lca and replaced both front knuckles

because everything in the pic was today, After i replace driver lca > alignment @firestone > replaced both complete knuckles > then these pics were taken
@b_serious, no i only replaced the actual lca and not the Y angle looking second piece to the lca
