A while back, I got into an accident where I was basically ran off the road, and into a mini ditch, and my car slid a bit and my wheels hit some things, with enough force to take the tires off my pass. side wheels.

It drove fine [straight alignment and what not], with occasional creaks coming from the rear back, and stripped a couple of wheel studs. I replaced those, but recently JUST noticed that my back wheel was sunken in. I took it to get an alignment, and got the sheet, I suspected something could have been bent in the accident.

After reviewing my new alignment sheet, and the one from a couple months back before the accident, my rear pass. camber used to be about -2.4 degrees [About the same camber measurements all around]. The creaks also seemed to go away after the alignment, but the main problem is this:

Now the passenger rear right is 0.3 degrees, [everything else seems fine]. I don't have any camber kits, but a buddy of mine told me I could possibly have a bent trailing arm. I had the alignment guys take a look after alignment, and I checked underneath the car myself as well when I got home, but didn't see anything bent... Any suggestions?

 

Absolutely something is bent. Could be the trailing arm, or it could be the LCA. I really don't think the upper arm or compensator arm could cause that much positive camber change from your old reading, so it has to be the TA or LCA.

 

Thanks for the input.. any suggestions on diagnosing which one is bent? LCA would probably be pretty easy, I suppose.. but how about the RTA? That's pretty big. From first glance, nothing looks obvious [obviously bent that is..]

 

hmm just compare one side to the other I guess. Stock 94-01 Integra rear LCA's already look slightly bent, so it may not be so easy unless it's GROSSLY bent compared to the other one.

 

I agree with what patrickgsr94 said.

If this were me i would try swapping in another LCA, and see if that takes care of it. Then if it doesn't youll need to look at RTA's.
