Well yesterday afternoon my passenger side axle decided to take a dump in 88 CRX Si while going around a curve (around 45-55mph). The result was my car getting thrown into a ditch on the side of the road. Lucky it was near a friends house and we were able to get the car out (ditch wasnt that large) and drive it to his house (I didnt know the axle was broken until after we drove it back to his house). I did notice that the car pulled extremely to the right (like it wanted to do a doughnut) and I had to hold tightly to the steering wheel. Well last night we replaced the axle, but I notice that the wheel was shifted back like a 1-1.5 inch and the swap bar linkage (I believe thats the name) is tilted (sorry for no pictures).

Luckily I have access to a part car, so I was going to replace the following:
-uca
-lca
-knuckles

these if needed
-front crossmember
-tie bar (ends) i think thats what they are called

I was wondering if anything else should be added to the list. I know it's kinda hard to judge without pics but I just need suggestion because I really want to save my car because I been "JDMing" it out for about 3 years and it's in its final stage. Also, a friend of mines told me to hope and pray it wasnt my "sub assembly" that was bent, so can anyone tell me about that. Thanks for your help!!!

 

depending on the direction the car was impacted (orientation) may help you figure out which parts are likely bent/damaged. I just want to clarify: from your post I interpreted that when you are looking at the car from the side, the front right wheel appears to be further back in the wheel well?

I would start by replacing the lower control arm (#6,7)and the front radius/tie rod(#5). Fix any other obvious damage and try to get the car alligned.

If the damage was severe it may have affected the rear crossmember and or possibly even the front crossmember?

here is a pic of my bent control arm. The casting "seam" should be straight and you can see (better in person) this one is bent.
