think my frame is bent and I need some help
ok I just hit a curb in my 91 crx si......popped the tire bent the rim and bent the LCA and also broke the radius rode......I replaced the entire front suspension LCA,wishbone arm, brakes (they are way bigger too
) and everything.....the drivers side radius arm lines up (the holes just need to be widened since I think the LCA are for a DA so the angle of the holes are a little off) but on the passenger side (the side I hit) I cannot seem to get the radius arm anywhere close it is like the front right of my car is about 1 inch too close. I measured with a tape measure and the front x-member is about 1 inch closer to the base where my LCA attatch than the driver side....is my car FUBAR and can I just modify the radius arm to fit in the holes(shorting it by about 1 inch). I am going to talk to the frame shop tommorrow but I dunnno what else to do. Any ideas guys?thanx

just take it to the shop. and don't try to modify the radius rod. it will make your car drive with one front wheel in front of the other and you will eat tires like crazy. i did the same thing to my civic si Hatch except with a big drainage ditch and a fence. mine was bent a few centimeters where LCA connects to the frame so they just smacked it with a mallot till it lined up.
