wrecked si trying to fix
i have a 91 civic si,
i jumped a ditch in the car and screwed up the whole left side of my car.
i bought a oem drivers side lca and a radius arm and i cant get the lca to bolt to the radius arm. is my frame bent. how much will it normally cost at a body shop to get this fixed.

how far off is your lca to the radius arm.... i would try to use a jack to press up lca to the radius arm....
when you went on the ditch how much damage and what kind of damage did you sustain? do you see bend .. basically be more specific.... so we can further help you... pics would be nice if you got access to it....

Re: (92integra_gs)
i am refering to the front drivers side LCA. as for the distance between the bolts, with a lot of persuasion(rubber mallot and a cheater bar) i got one bolt in on the radius arm. but the other one doesnt seem to line up. so i took it off and was going to try assembleing it in a different order. just damage to the left fender and bent the lca like a banana and broke the radius arm right at the bolts. the axle shaft was against the frame when i finally got it jacked up in my yard. i also dented the rim reallly bad. ill try and post some pics but 56k really blows for that

from what you are telling me i dont think you bended or messed up your frame at all... try using a jack to push up that LCA to the radius arm... and make sure you are actually putting it back like you are suppose to... and you should be fine...good luck
