Simlar thing happened to me except I was going 25-30mph. My wheel looked identical to yours. Looks like you are going to need a new Lower Control Arm. $205 brand new, but I bought mine for $100 from a junkyard. That and a new alignment should do it!

P.S. The wheels needs balancing.

EDIT:

Just remembered, you might need a new upper control arm as well.

 

fixable, thats what im scared of running into a curb...goodluck

 

^^ He's right. Also you need a cat

 

Geez. Check if the axel is ok as well as the CV boots.

 

You'll most likely need an LCA and a trailing trailing arm. Just get out to a junkyard and grab the parts. If it costs you more than $100 plus an alignment, I'd be really surprised.

 

everything is pushed back into the drivers door tho.

even if i replace the parts myself, and get an alighnment, do you think it would still be pushed into the drivers door like that?

uhm... wouldnt that be the whole point of changing the lca?!

 

-is your **** bent or not. if it isnt then you have a lca mount broken or tweeked. if the arm is bent thats why the wheel is pushed back

 

If you replace the LCA, go for an alignment, and if its still off, the alignment spec can probably tell you what else is bent.

Possible bent items:
LCA
Inner tie rods
Subframe
Upper ball joint

 

i recently replaced my lca and bushings and it was around 300 and wasnt that hard of a task. id just do that or take it to a shop get charged an arm and a leg.

 

looks like he may have sheared the bolt in two that is for the front subframe. (top red circle)

 

are the parts (control arms and trailing arms eg ) the same on ek ? if so you pay for shipping and ill give you some as i have honda parts galore taking up space in my garage

 

"Possible bent items"
LCA
Inner tie rods
Subframe


I would put money on it that all of these are bent!

 

I see bending in the subframe. I also wouldn't be surprised if you also needed new tie rod ends (if not the entire rod), and both your upper and lower ball joints.

It honestly probably won't be perfect ever again.

 

i have a 1999 Civic HX and EG coupe i'm parting out! PM me!

 

pray to the god of bomex, i hope you not bend subframe!


hahaha sorry i had to do it. if you dont get the joke then sign off honda-tech. lol.

but yea if you bent the subframe thatd suck, but considering how slow your were goin id start with the basics. get a new control arm and have it aligned and see what else you need AFTER you replace the obvious things.

 

word. making a run down to a used honda acura parts place tomorrow to see how much parts are.

 

Expect to pay around $70-100 for the control arm with the bushing and collar.

Basicly everything on that corner, rim included could be bent. If you have to come in the forum and ask then perhaps you should not be working on something as your suspension. Not trying to be an *** but you have a far better view of it then we do. If you have or can get a whole suspesion from another car that would be your best bet and cheapest route and if you can put it in yourself you will save even more. If insurance is going to pay for it, take it to honda. But then again you run the risk of having your car totaled out by them if the bill is too high. Find the measurements from shock towers and make sure they are within specs. If you can't find them, body shops have books that can tell you.

Good luck and play it safe.

 

I hit the curb 25-30 after spinning out and coming to complete stop and all I replaced was a lower control arm and bought a new stock wheel for $20.

what do you mean run the risk of having it totaled?! that would be awsome! total it out, then buy it back for the scrap cost! then sell it to me for $50 more and make a few bucks!!! lol
