Lost control and hit a curb at 45 mph ( front right of the car ) it scrapes when i turn right, i have to force the steering wheel straight or it will turn by itself. when i go straight or turn left there are no noises. my front right wheel is pushed back

what do you guys think is wrong

please lmk i'm 17 and i'm trying to avoid letting my parents know

 

i ran over a curb last week @ about 10mph. so far just my alignment is F'd as far as i can tell. you should start there & maybe the alignment place can to tell you whats broken/damaged

GL

 

horrible things have happened this year and this makes me want to :'[

 

anyone?

 

get an alignment maybe that will fix the problem.
also check to see if your rim is bent or tires unbalanced.
lastly lift the car up and see if anything is bent.

 

yea hit your local tire kingdom etc...get an alignment for sure, then have them look for damage to the cambers, susp, etc...you'll be ok

You probably have an amalgam of problems. I would be willing to bet on bent control arm and strut, possibly even knuckle. It's difficult to tell just by what you say in your post. Go to a shop and have them look at it. They'll tell you what you messed up, and then you can go plead to your parents about how somebody ran you off the road, or some bullshit.

agreed 110%...couldn't have said it better myself

 

lol, tell em it was either the curb or a benz, and you took the curb. make it sound like you were protecting their insurance.

 

hey, take the wheel off, take a look, post pics up, it could be a control arm as mentioned before, let us take a look

are you fu*king kidding me? we drive small cars not TRUCKS you dumb ****. im sure the rim is bent or cracked. the control arm is ****, the shocks are probably damaged. the fork that the shock is connected to is damaged. there is a whole mess of problems. and if you didnt damage a fender or tire in the process your lucky.

I agree with this except for the struts, since USDM Integras never had them. Hopefully the OP did not bend the frame. Things like these are what makes my insurance high.

OP, for your car the only thing that an alignment can address is toe in/out. Stock Integras have no means to adjust caster or camber.

 

just tell your parents unless your going to get beat.plus if you messed up your shocks or anything i doubt you have enough money to fix it all without them noticing your car is missing for a day or so.

 

When I was 16 I had a RWD car and hit a curb in the rain going 25mph, I ended up bending a rim and a control arm.

On another note, there are much worse things in life than having to tell your parents that you hit a curb with your car.

 

only way to find out is to go to a local tire shop and see if they can do a allignment.

I vote for bent lca

 

i totalled my brothers 400$ 91 corolla when i was 16 or 17... fell asleep at the wheel and hit a gaurd rail.

i hope you have some money saved up. take it to the tire/alignment place and just have em look.

the dammage could have been alot worse.

 

I'm with the rest of these guys. Take it to a shop and bring $$$.

When I tried to go on a trip to Oregon last year I hit a raised section of the I-5 ( i think that's the highway.... doesn't matter) and my car got roasted. Slid across 3 lanes of traffic. Damage = rotor, control arm, knuckle, balljoint, etc. $1000US for the work. two rotors, pads, control arms, two tires, etc etc. I didn't get "taken" by the shop as I work for honda and saw the damage first hand but they got me back on the road within a day. If you've got enough $$ go into a shop and get it done.

thanks

you guys are very helpful

and yes you guys are all correct it is a bent lca and after that i will need an alignment

what would be a reasonable price for an alignment in your guys opinion.

i am going to be replacing the lca myself.

 

if i remember, an alignment is about an hour of labor.

i think my local shop does it for 90 bucks. 70 if you buy 4 tires.

also: if you cant tell your parents you shouldnt have your own car. and as parents they should also not flip their lids because you did get into an accident: it happens to everyone. but i know this isnt the case with how parents think.

now if you were going 90 down sideroads on an icy day, then you just shouldnt be driving at all.
