ok.. my friend hit a curb a few months ago. his front passenger side tire is pushed back a little bit. the car still drives straight and feels good..

but what is bent? is it the outer Tie Rod End???

here is a pic.. thanks

 

or could it also be my lower control arm?

what is the main possibility??

 

Take the tire off and take a look at it? Maybe something will look bent wrong.

 

somebody brought in a 98 teggy....and the owner of the car hit a curb at like 40 mph and that **** was fucke dup then passenger side wheel was really close to the fender just like yours...so i chekd it out and i replaced the lower control arm and the shock....the shock because something was hit and the top of the shock was bent ....but definatey they LCA will be bent ...trust me on that....

 

thanks.. ill check that out tomorrow..

 

my teg is the same too...but i got the car like that....ill have to check the lca again...didnt look bent to me last time

 

90% sure its your lower control arm. I hit a curb going like 20ish, my tire was all the way back to the fender. Swaybar endlink and lca was bent. More the lca than the swaybar.

 

have a 90 civic hatch back and have same issues. replaced my lca and it helped but the spec is still way off (about -1.8 degree caster on passenger side). I believe that the crossmember and/or the radius rods are fubar. Looking into replacing front crossmember.

 

100% positive it will be the lower control arm. how does the car steer, any vibration while driving?

 

My little bro recently crashed his car into a island on the driver front side. He replaced everything on that side but now the passanger wheel seems to not be rolling right . He says it like burning out. I looked at it but didnt see anything bent but i know his frame is a little bent downward on driver side. I was thinking maybe trying to put a front camber kit or tie it up to a pole and try bending the frame back a little any one got any suggestion thanks for ur time.

 

Find a body shop with a frame rack and laser liner.

just pulling it out with a pole and chain is Stupid.

there are alot of spot welds in a unibody car if you pullit wrong you can snap the welds and then the car is un safe to drive till you get the fixed correctly.

think of it like this.

take a empty pop can and crush it from top to botom
now pull the can back out and make it look as good as you can
then re-crush it. it crushes with a lot less force the second time.

so if you hit some thing and bent the Crash zone in the car and just pull it back out. next time you hit some thing it will be A LOT more damaged if it doesn't kill you.

i say this only after i saw a car that was improperly repaired after a front end crash.
the first owner hit a car at 45MPH and crushed the front end in. it was fixed by the local Mexie body shop. it looked good and even passed the inspection from Washington State patrol but 3 weeks after the New owner got the car they hit a Parked car at 30MPH and ended up with the engine in there lap and killing the passenger. turned out they never reinforced the bend to the unibody support rails under the front suspention. the car looked odd when i saw it that was a lot of damage looked as if the car started to crush right at the A pillar.

 

any places in orange county bend car frames back !!!!!!!!

 

Im just gonna go ahead and say yes!

contact your local auto repair guys, or body shops and they will probably be more than happy to refer you to the guys who do work for them prior to body work.
They have to farm jobs out to these guys before they can perform the body work

 

I hit a curb going way ******* slower, but my wheel went all the way back against the fender and the top points out far. How much will it cost to repare? Nothing really looks damaged other than the fact that the wheel shouldn't be there. 1990 Honda Civic

 

Don't see a pic???

However I agree with most of the above, it has to be either the lower control arm or where it mounts to the frame rail, I also agree that the strut is most likely also bent. 94
