Can anyone tell me the length of the radius rod for the front suspension used in the CRX?

My wheels are sitting about 1.125" too far back in the front wheel well. The car was in a front end collision but the frame shop I went to said the frame was straight and the dimensions were correct. I was told that someone may have swapped in Integra radius rods which are (supposedly) longer.

 

Check your rear crossmember - what your lower control arms bolt to - and make sure it isn't cracked or broken in any way.

Anybody?

 

the dr. already prescribed a fix.. you should check out the rear cross member. did you do that? and what did you find?

you can also measure the center of the front wheel to the center of the back wheel on both sides, and if those numbers come up more than like .5% different, then something is definitely wrong on one side.

 

the front crossmember is probably bent. its most liekly pushed back on that side also check the radius bushing one might be tweaked

 

The rear cross member is fine. From center of front wheel to center of back both front wheels are sitting 1-1/8" back per the frame chart. When you take the wheel off you can see that the drive shaft is almost touching the slot it goes through in the body.

I may take it to a second body shop to get another opinion, but there is no visible damage (creasing/crumpling/etc) of the frame or front crossmember. Which is why it makes sense that someone may have used Integra front raduis rods as they are longer (so I have been told). But I don't know what length the CRX rods are supposed to be.

It's not one side, it is both.
