Okay well, Florida weather has been bad lately... Hydro planed and hit a curb about 30-35 mph. It was crazy as hell going downhill too. Wanted to see what yall think about this and see what's wrong with it. I'm definitely going to try to fix the car... possible? 96 teg fyi

No flaming, or dumb comments please! I would really appreciate some advice on this thanks H-T! Here are the pics..


As you can see with this first picture that the rear driver side wheel is "in" and the front driver side is a bit off in the top.



My friend taking off the rear passenger side tire to see what's wrong .. we was just thinking LCA, but what do we know? And its tilted like a bitch!


rear passenger side, something is hit


some pic of the passenger rear side, maybe you can spot something?


rear side again, something is bent.. LCA i believe or no?


Here it is again, you can see a piece of the metal is "peeled" off.


again, ouch


--- Now here is the front passenger side.. ---


front passenger, as you can see its a bit BENT on the bottom


front passenger, does this have something to do with it too? i am going to replace almost all the parts too


the bottom of the brakes, oh no.... whats with the bolt too?


random pics of the passenger side front




-That's about all the pics i got... was wondering what yall think. I'm going to replace basically all the parts that's bent. But yall tell me if its's a good idea to do that... It was at a mechanic place for about 2 months just sitting there. So imma do it myself. Maybe yall can list some parts you believe that's in need to be replaced. Thanks alot too!

 

Holy ****

holy **** indeed, i really want to repair the car though. more of another project eh?

 

Damage looks pretty bad. Might be a hell of a project.

 

i fixed a crx that had some suspension damage like that. ended up replacing pretty much that whole section of suspension (rear/drivers side)

control arm, trailer arm, shock/spring

it'll take you a couple days to get the parts from a junkyard, another couple to put em on

 

I did the exact same thing this winter on some ice. I'm not sure how bad yours is but it looks almost identical to the damage on mine, except all the damage done to mine was in the front. I had to replcace the following parts due to them being bent and/or broken:
-Rotor
-Spindle
-UCA
-LCA
-Ball joint
-Wheel (I hit the curb hard enough to slightly bend the oem alloy wheel)

Total I think I paid close to $1200, but thats with labor, good luck if you try it yourself, but some of those bolts will be tough without air tools

thanks guys, this definitely helps alot! ill keep ya updated

 

That whole assembly will need to be replaced. What you need to do is go to a junkyard and find either a DC with a whole one still intact, or you can probably get away with using the same parts off of a Civic with the exception of the shock and spring and brake parts. But the upper and lower control arms are the same.

I had a similar situation not too long ago. I misjudged a turn and was going too fast and hit the curb. Lucky for me, it was only the LCA that got messed up. Easy fix. It happened on like a saturday night and I was back on the road by noon the next day.

Only thing is, the Civic parts wont be as beefy.

 

eh, thats not so bad, my friend and I bought a 93' integra with similar damage, $500 bucks and the problem was that rear driver side wheel got smacked into a curb, here are some pictures of the project, we had to replace that rear crossmember:

old:

new:

only picture I have of it on the car:


Yours doesn't look too bad though, I think that rip in the metal could be reinforced and welded back together on that crossmember.

wow thanks much for the info! it makes me feel a bit better about doing this then glad your okay too. and Sykotic thx for the info also! yay

 

Damn, that's some serious damage. and only going around 35mph? I've hyrdoplaned into some curbes, but nothing happened even close to this extent. Good luck though with the rebuild!

yea going down hill also so...

 

whoa hold on. looks like everyone is getting way involved here. its really not that bad. its a way easy fix. on the front get a used complete knuckle and the front will be fixed. on the rear all you need is a trailing arm and a lca. thats it. the little tear can be straightened out and welded together after you get the new parts on
and while your at it have a good shop press you in a new front right upper ball joint. it looks in the pic like it isnt seated in the upper control arm correctly

whoa thankx! when the car gets towed to my friends garage, we are gonna take out msot the parts that are bent or messed up. then replace weach part. But ill take in consideration on your advice about just the 4-5 parts. ill def look into it as soon as i start takign the parts out

thabnks!!!

 

wow, you messed it up pretty good. and wow again because that is one UGLY color....

 

jdm man dun pwnded u son!!1!!211

 

damn!

 

sucks.

 

[QUOTE=diM.]jdm man dun pwnded u son!!1!!211[/QUOT

LAWL!

 

On that last pic of the rear it looked like the sub-frame was fucked bad.

 

now what i was wondering... how in **** sakes did ur rotor get like that without ur wheel completely bending in half?

 

It's a project to work on, you'll need to find all the arms for the front, top and bottom, because they both might be bent, check the sub frame in the front too. It's not kewl when you cant align your car, no matter how many time you go in to do it for.
