Umm, yeah . . . you're probably going to have to replace the entire rear crossmember (with attached LCAs), and pray that the frame isn't bent. Hopefully you didn't bend the radius rod or knuckle and damage the steering rack either.

You should think twice before speeding like a retard on public roads next time, because this is exactly what happens. Luckily you didn't hit some innocent passer-by on the road and injure them.

 

wasnt a public road was private (for now) friend of mines kinda. we had permission to be back there. i know abou the rear im just gonna get it pulled when i get the money.

the road is like 5 miles long. we legally street race back there. i was just having fun but it was prob a bad idea from the beginning

 

The easiest thing to do is get under the car and measure some landmarks on the 'good' side of the car. For example, from the lower ball joint nut to the front crossmember. Then compare these measurements with the side you hit and try bending, hammering, or moving what needs to be adjusted, depending on the parts. This is what I had to do when some bolts broke on my Full Race traction bars. The more measurements you take, the better off you'll be. Good luck!

 

thanks man

 

welcome! if it's a CRX, i have a .pdf honda manual i can email you. it has all the frame measurements, though i've always just measured the car and made sure both sides were the same

 

yeah man that would be great. email is nicholasprutz@msn.com

 

i just sent it, it's a big file called the 'VTEC Supplement.' what you want is under 'frame repair.' i'm curious what you'll find on the car, let us know!
