Front End - Control Arms, Sway Bar...Hit a curb.. :(
Hi there,
When it snowed here a few weeks ago..I slipped off the road into a curb; When i went underneath the car to inspect the damage since it was no longer driving stright AND the wheen as actually about 1 inch back (towards the rear of the car) in the wheel well itself..I noticed the sway bar link was bent pretty badly! No i ask, If i replace that..Do you think that will fix the problem of the wheel being back in the well and not being up and down properly? Or will i have to replace the control arm for the correct positioning? I know i'll need an alighment still after that..But its been about 4 weeks and now my tire is completly shreded! So i must get this fixed soon. Thank You

tak ethe wheel off to make sure that's really the only thing wrong. My friend did the same thing to his rear passenger side and we had to replace the whole side of the suspension. if your wheel is pushed back.. sway bar, LCA, and probably the tie rod are fucked. pay a few bucks and have a shop look at it if you aren't positive.
