Default Suspension a little "messed up" HELP!?!?!?!?

I crashed my 89 CRX Si into a curb awhile ago and I noticed the front tires are pushed back now. I hit the curb dead on hitting both tires at the same time. I replaced the front lower control arms and got a front end alignment on my car but the tires are still pushed back. I want to fix this problem before I put my new engine in. I was told by someone to check bent lower control arms radius rods cracked where the bolts to the lower control arms go radius rods bent crossmember screwed frame where lower control arm bolts up to with the 14mm bolt is unwelded from frame. Should I replace the front crossmember and radius rods? Do you think that will fix it? Please help it looks ugly too.

I just started another thread about the same thing yesterday. I "had" a 94 Accord when I hit a curb the other night. I did the exact same thing you did; I squared the wheels to the curb to avoid messing up my rims. It seems that since the car was lowered (1.5"), that the front sub-frame was the first thing to hit the curb. I just got a call from the body shop and Insurance company; the "estimate" was $1600.

The insurance adjuster said that there might be other damage, and they won't be able to tell until they tear it apart. I wish you luck. Next time I'll just waste the rims.
