I bought the car with the wheel pushed back in the wheel well as shown and never have gotten a straight answer about what part i need to replace. any help appreciated. please excuse the mud i live on a dirt road.

 

Look at it and find out what is damaged. My guess would be upper or lower control arms, or both.

 

i had this problem on a freinds 95 civic. what you need to do is fist replace the lower controll arm and ball joint. if that does not work than possibly dry the upper and also the spindle and wheel bering and hub. but odds are its the lower controll arm. he picked one up on ebay preity cheep.

 

had that problem when i bought my hatch from the Auction, its yoiur sub fram im lucky enough to body shop people and they pulled it for free it got pretty damn close to stock after pull thats what is wrong, i also changed every thing but non of that was the cause, it was just the sub frame you need pulled good luck let me know if you have any questions

 

i had an eclipse where i hit a curb and it bent the fram and the lower control arm to where they could not get it perfectly straight.I never replaced and ball joints at all.Replace the lower control arm and check the ball joints and replace the ones that need it then get it aligned.

 

im gonna use my x ray vision to determine what is bent on your car. hmm, didnt work, guess you can either just start bolting all new suspension on the car OR *light comes on* you can take the wheel off and do a visual inspection, if nothing is obviously bent take it to a shop.

 

tried visual inspection and didnt notice anything. but thanks guys i'm gonna take it to a body shop and see if its the sub frame

 

replace the lower control arm! it may seem fine but when you match a good 1 to a bad 1 you will see the difference!

I think i paid 25 for a lower control arm at the junk yard! I did this when i crashed my car and still needed it for a dd till it was fixed....

 

ive noticed that every civic i look at, the passenger side sits back like that.

 

Did you find out what it was my civic is the same way

 

Dude... 9 years ago, I'm sure he won't respond.
