Icon4 Honda Civic ef CrossMember!! Need help

I crashed my 1990 ec8, after changing the wichbone, stabilizer and shaft I notice a bit of positive camber on the left wheel. My suspicion is that the rear cross-member might have gotten bent but I do not want to remove the whole cross-member for nothing. I included some images below maybe they can help, Does it seem like it is the problem

Front is the one under the radiator.
Rear is the one by the firewall.

your pics are too zoomed in to compare. the internet is not good for this. you really need to take your car to a professional if you want a worthwhile opinion.

positive camber can come from a number of reasons from bent parts (crash incident) to simply using the wrong parts (EG/DC knuckles fit but produce poor camber).

take your car to a mechanic.

possible you bent the upper control arm or a lower.


I believe the crosmember is the piece that the tie rods connect to, and the front subframe is the piece the front lca's connect to. The rear subframe the rear lower control arms connect to

I don't think either is bent, as many things would absorb, deflect, break, bend before the subframe. But who knows. I would inspect the parts
