Hi Guys.....

I ran over this Crate that fell off this ugly truck I was following on the interstate the other day,
And I took my 96 Accord EX to my mechanic who specializes in Hondas/Acuras,
The brake line to drivers side front whell was torn, resulting in a repair,
and the following pieces were bent or damaged,

: Lower left control arm
: Left control arm

then they had to take it to a body shop where those body shop guys pulled the frame forward on the left front end and replaced the left front strut rod.

I get my car back and now The steering is totally gone, feels like I have partial power steering and It is so hard to manuever this car now....

All parts used to fix it were supposedly new factory parts....could they have tightened something too much or too little?? Is it missing a part??

Any ideas??

Thanks...

Check your power steering fluid level first. You might have bent a tie rod, but I'm sure they would notice something like that... Man, I would think they would road test it for sure..

 

did they re-align it after taking the whole front end apart.

 

if they aligned the car did they give you the results?? camber, caster and toe readings frt + rear if so post them here i can read it and let you know if something is not right with specs.....if they did not give you specs see if you can get a copy of the results ....

in such impacts i have seen the rear cross member bent

 

Ya defenetly what /\ he said. GO back and request the allighnment reading. Where ever its red, it needs corrections. Better yet, just post it here.
