I need help!!!! I had a 92 civic bubble and stripped all the suspension parts and powder coated than changed all bushings with red e.s. the front lower control arms are an exact match but when i put in the fresh powder coated ones in my 93 civic hatch the tire now sits to the back of the car there is a 4 inch gap from tire to bumper and like 1 inch from tire to side skirt. need help what went wrong all parts are the same and all to factory torque specs. i can take pics if you need but was supposed to be a day job and only got that side done. what did i do wrong??????????? and i dont think an alignment would move the tire that way at all

? You didn't swap the left with the right side did you hard to do but iguess anything is possable?

 

ya there are the right way i followed the instructions on the energy guildlines and the say the stamped number bushing to the front of the car. double and triple checked that is was the right way. no i made sure i had the left and right compared them before i put new one in are exactly the same even though i have it the way of the diagram maybe i should try the bushing the other way or no?
