Hello All,

Car went into the curb at 20ish, was turning left at cross road whilst the wheel was 3/4 locked to the left, half of the alloy lip is grazed but no dent

Here are the results After alignment, only front two wheels adjusted:


FR - Front Right | FL - Front Left || RL - Rear Left | RR - Rear Right

Caster:
FR: -0.24
FL: 0.59

Camber:
FR: -0.21
FL: -1.16

RL: -1.16
RR: -1.13

Toe:

FR: 0.06
FL: 0.01
RL: 0.04
RR: 0.09

Steering pulls slightly to right, could this be a bent track rod? Or something else?

 

you just wasted your time doing alignment with the bent parts.....even though you got toe back in your camber shows that something elese is fucked. The only shure way to figure that out is to measure your control arms, etc to figure out what is bent....good luck man.

 

i dont think it was a WASTE of time doing the alignment. you know for sure now whats bent and how much it has affectd your alignment. and well, its affected it a lot.

hard to say whats bent tho. most probable suspects are the typical LCA and maybe a bent knuckle because that camber is off too. check out the subframe and make sure theres no damage either.

if you dont know how to check any of this out, then take it to a shop.

 

oh right, havnt really had time to jack it up, can anyone explain what the knuckle is and where it's located?

Should I find an oem set of front lca's or buy the omni lca's?

Front right (driver side) hit the curb for reference

thats like piling crap in a crap hole.

 

6-8 is the knuckle and 11-13 is your upper control arm.Check for anything out of the ordinary(bent pieces).

 

I had the same thing happen to me. But I hit one at like 30+

My FR LCA was bent to hell and I replaced it and it's been fine since then. No other suspension damage to be felt or seen. However, I lost steering returnability. I do have the parts to rebuild my steering, tho. I just haven't done it yet.

you still have issues.

 

if you lost steering returnability, wouldn't this be the track rod end? Since this is the cpt that normally plays up that leads to saggy steering / returnability.
