Default Top of wheel leaning in bad

I just recently finished doing a disk brake upgrade to my 94 civic cx. I installed the larger integra front brakes.Once I let the car down off the jack stands, the passenger side front wheel is leaning in on top really bad. I know everything is hooked up. What could cause this?

Do you have adjustable upper A arms? Did you replace them when you did the brake swap? Exactly what year did your swap come from?

The upper control arms are stock. I'm not 100 percent sure on year of the parts. I had someone sell me a 4 wheel disc brake swap/upgrade. I assumed all the parts were from the same car.

Stock off your car? Or stock but came with the conversion? Can you clarify if you reused your original upper/lower control arms? Did you just swap brakes up front? Or did you swap the entire knuckle out?

If you swapped out the entire knuckle my guess is that it's bent.

The spindle could be bent, if its only the passenger side that is.

LOTS could cause it. Jack it up. Take the wheel off and take a pic that actually shows us something to help us help you.

I finally got it figured out after trial and error. I changed the upper control arm, no difference. I ended up buying another spindle. Somehow the spindle got bent where it attaches to the upper ball joint. Once I put the new one on, it sat the way it should. All the wheels lean in a little being lowered but now they are all even.
