Hey guys I had an accident a few days ago. I bent my front passenger LCA and I found out today that I bent my spindle. I replaced everything but now the bolt for the lower ball joint is scraping into my rotor. I can not figure it out. Please help me HT I've always counted on you guys for answers!

 

looks like maybe the dust guard was bent, try bending it the other way and see if that helps. better pics would help us as well.

 

As I lower the car, the LCA/castle nut closes in on the plate to the rotor. There's a hole in the dust shield now since it closed in on each other

 

did you check to see if the knucle was bent. exactly how did you get hit? if anything on the front suspension is bent will throw off the alignment of parts in there.

 

take the dust cover out
it's not that important

 

the whole spindle/knuckle and lower control arm was replaced. what else could be affected?

But that was replaced, so it could be up top. I had suspension issues (bent lower arm) bought a LCA from a bone yard they assured me wasn't bent but it was, so I replaced with new parts. I'm thinking if its not the LCA, knuckle try looking at the UCA or damper fork. Really all thats left beyond those that could throw off suspension geometry that bad is a bent frame or possible a bent front subframe.. Good luck.

 

could my crossmember affect anything?

 

wow good luck on that i wish i could help
