Default Need an answer to this problem...

I have a 98 Civic Hatch. It was in a minor front end collision a few years ago and since then the drivers side wheel sits further back then the passenger side wheel.
I was told that it is the cross member. Has anyone ever had this problem? Where would i find a cross member fairly quick? Any help is appreciated///thanx

I had this same problem a few years ago when I slid into a curb. Might not just be the cross member. Take it to a alignment shop and they should be able to tell you what bent or broke.

I would check control arm, knuckle, and strut first. Then look into the cross member.

Well in my estimating system at work, it's listed as 4.5 hours in labor, and I believe there is welding involved.
