probably need to get to a "u pull it" junkyard and grab all the front suspension components on that side. grab the axle too, just to be safe. thats probably the cheapest route. unless you find someone whos parting out the same car.

You basically have a 50/50 chance at a sort of easy fix. Some cars I've seen that did what you did just needed a lower control arm a strut maybe a new subframe. Others had bent suspension mounts on the frame and a tweaked frame. Get under the car with a tape measure everything first. That looks pretty bad, I wouldn't hold my breath on an easy fix.

Take it to your mechanic so he can take a quick look at it and tell you what's damaged. I'm willing to bet that your axle is ****. U Pull it is your best bet in replacing it without breaking the bank. Hopefully you can do most if not all the work yourself.

How did you manage to do that? Were you facebooking?

Lol that happened to me too. Except I was Drifting. Had to replace EVERYTHING.

Check your axle, strut, sway bar(if civics come with one) and your Upper and lower control arms.

You're lucky you had a forged wheel. I had a cast one and it literally exploded into 3 pieces. I only found 2.
