Default My REALLLY bad day

Well today I was driving my car. Then I here this really funny noise I didnt think much of it. But I noticed that my car was steering really funny. So when I stopped I looked over at the wheel it was pretty royally screwed it had like 35 degrees of camber tilting in. I was like GREAT this is nice. So then I decided to look at what was up well under closer inspection a bolt had fallen out. So my friend that was folowing me had noticed something fly out from underneeth my car. So he went back and got the bolt but no luck with the nut sadly. So i ended up throwing the car in the jack and taking off the wheel and thinking what i could do to fix it. So I could drive it home. So i sent him to home depot to find a new nut. He ended up getting a nut and a bolt that is just a temp fix till i can order a new nut from honda. But now after I fixed it so I could drive it home the ABS light wont go off it's really pissing me off. So my plan is get the new but from a honda dealer, put it on and fix it then take it in for the ABS light under warranty and i can get my broke *** seat fixed again. Here are some pics of my car sorry for the poor quality I took them with my cell phone.



That is a pic of the bolt in there with the missing nut.



There is a pic with the whell off and the car in the jack.

You're lucky it wasn't your top bolt that came off, or else your axle would probably pop out. That would suck.
