ok today i just checked my car because when i do a full left turn my passenger side wheel would rub the inside of my car. i did some measuring and found out that there is only about 2 finger gap from my tire to the rear part of my fender and on the driver side there is a lil more than 3 finger gaps from the tire to the rear part of the fender. anyone ever got this issue and got it fixed??? my car just got an alignment done but it still swerves a lil to the right. other then that it drives perfectly fine.

yezzir...i had a 96 coupe that stuck out a little on the pass side and was closer to the door than it was to the bumper. come to find out after putting up on a lift that the whooolle frame on the right side was crinkled up and jacked up pretty bad. they tried to fix it before i bought it apparently but failed. lol it wore thru kuhmo ecsta tires in about 1000 miles or less on that side.

yup accident or possibly bent frame.

damn that sucks! my car is a clean title and been in a little fender bender before but they said it wasnt anything major tho. i just tot it could have been the racket pinion or something

YEAH, PEOPLE LIE TO SELL...

check the whole knuckle. I had a similar issue where my pass wheel stuck out further from the fender than my driver. It DROVE ME FVCKING CRAZY because no one could figure it out. I had it to 2 different shops. The alignment and toe were dead on but the wheel wasnt the same distance from the inside fender than my driver side. Well I thought just for **** and giggles to replace the whole pass knuckle. well that ended up being the problem. It was bent but you couldnt notice it with your eye. Try that and see what happens. Its a paint to replace but that MAY solve your problem. Keep me updated

mynameizstitch

will for you it was because yours stuck out more for me it's cuz mine is more towards the back of the of the fender. ima do a front big brake upgrade so i may just check it out that way.

mikeycivic

yeh but yours could be bent back where mine was bent out. I would try it cuz its def a possibility.

mynameizstitch

thanks i will check it out

Just cuz your car has a clean title, doesnt mean its never been in an accident. It was hit before in that spot and somebody didnt do a good job of fixing it. Check the control arm, maybe its that

shak3yb0n3z

probably bent lower control arm. had the same problem in my old del sol. control arm fixed it.

mynameizstitch

yeah that is what i was thinking also. i replaced the lower control arms on mine with integra ones so i can get the front swaybar in. ima have to check this next weekened

mikeycivic

Im sure its just a suspension issue and nothing more

Jimster480

damn i have the same problem too. It has to be the LCA. Can you just buy one?

mynameizstitch

yeah ima try to switch out the lower control arm on that side cuz i can get a used replacement one for $15. its worth a shot!

Jimster480

where is that? because i need one.

da59block

ur wheel is like that from a previous accident...
its either the position of that shock/strut or the lower control arm thats push back
if its the lca u can fix it if its the shock/strut its a goner...sry

Just to add a little info, the front subframe is what the LCA mounts to, and can be shifted in place during an accident, moving the wheels a little and/or throwing the alignment (mostly caster) off.

Its most definitely the LCA, mine was the same way when I hit a ditch tryin to miss a damn deer. Its an easy replacement and I'm sure will fix your problem. GL!

my girfriends old civic was in an accident where it was shoved up on to a curb and under a truck at the same time, the accident bent the front subframe (the thing that gets replaced with a traction bar) back causing the wheels to be shoved back. also bowed the radius arms.

mynameizstitch

will i will check the lca since i switched my front ones to integra ones when i put in the itr front swaybar and i did notice the car started to swerve a lil to the right even after the alignment.

mynameizstitch

switched out the front lca and it solved it!!!
