she bent the rim.


also now the wheel seems to be pushed back a little because when u turn the wheel either way it seems that its rubbing slightly against the wheel well.

what do you think it could be?

 

you need to dump her.

get under the car and look. might just be an Lca

 

what does LCA mean?

 

Lower Control Arm

 

Alright how could i tell if thats bent or nething? cuz i looked at everything and i cant see anything bent or any stress marks on the parts

 

 

any other help?

 

youre better off taking it to a shop. get a steely to replace the rim and dont let her drive your car anymore

 

I would have it put on a alignment machine. When I hit a curb to dodge a truck in my 91 hatch it ended up doing slight frame damage.

 

X2

 

i had the same issue i had to replace my rear sub frame and my lcas and radius rod heres a pic of my lca lol

 

been there done that ^^^ mine was a little less bent than that thought...

 

would an alignment fix the problem?

because if i put the wheels straight you can see that the wheel seems pushed back

 

An alignment won't help if something is bent. The best you could do is get the toe and camber correct and the caster way, way off. Something is bent, something has to be replaced.

 

but how come when i looked at it nothing looked bent or had any stress marks on the metal

 

pull ur wheel off something gotta be bent for your caster to be off mostlikely the lca mine happend making a slow u turn my car is dumped so u know it got fawked up what side is bent i have a extra driver side i didnt use that u can have for 30 plus shipping most likely she may have bent the inner tie rod also i just replaced everything

 

i did pull off the wheel and looked at everything ill even take a pic if you would like me to....ive looked at everything that could be possibly it but i cant see it


if your on aim IM me on there.

 

Id shoot her lol

 

LMAO!

 

Dude just take it to a shop to have them put it on a alignment/frame machine. They can tell you real quick if it is out of whack.

 

your awesome, that belongs on the trophy wall.

 

This is because you OBVIOUSLY have NO CLUE what you are looking at...

 

i had this happen to me, twice! once in july 08, once in july 09. ive become an expert on this situation lol

it all depends on how hard you hit the curb, in both my accidents, i had to replace both fenders cuz it pushed the wheel that far back, so i can say i hit them pretty hard lol

worst case scenario:

look at these parts mostly for damage, in both my cases, i just replaced all those parts in both my accidents

When you look at the lower control arm, there is a seam from the casting process that runs the length of the arm. This seam should be straight. You can use a string and pull it taught from end to end and see if it is bent.





When I hit a curb to doge an Excursion, I gunned it right before impact to shift the weight off of the front and luckily my car jumped the curb which limited the damage. I still replaced: front lower control arm, front upper control arm, knuckle/hub, radius rod, and shock fork. After an alignment I still have some caster issues but it is almost perfect. (I probably bent the rear subframe too)
