my EF9 got hit last night while i was asleep. Now on the driver side, the front tire instead of facing straight as it should be. Its facing into the car, towards the motor. Is it just the lower control arm and possibly the wheel berrings?!?!? I NEED HELP

could be your control arms or tie rods.

 

take the wheel off and see which part is bent. most likely the control arm is tweeked.

 

probably need new upper control arm with ball joint.. probably upper ball joint, maybe a whole knuckle, possibly lower ball joint. might have chassis damage. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa good juck with that.. take it to a shop and see what you need.. dont just rig it up. please.

 

thx guys. ill try it out. hopefully it aint too much damage. ;O

Get the frame on a frame machine. You might have bent the frame rails then the car is junk unless you got deep pockets to get it straightened (I beleive a machine of that nature is about 80$ an hour).

Replace the whole front suspension with one that hasn't been nailed on the side (bargain with an auto wreckers, usually you can pick up a full front suspension for about 100$).

 

there is no way we are going to able to tell you exactly whats wrong with your car.
it should be pretty obvious to you when you remove the wheel, what parts are damaged.
if you can get pics that will help a lot. it can be more then one thing, or just be one little thing. not all situations are the same.

 

thx.
