I ran into something long ago and I haven't really noticed it until I replaced my fenders. I mean, I did notice that my alignment was off but, I didn't know it looked like this.



Here's the other side to compare.



So my question again is, will an alignment fix it or will I have to replace some parts. Thanks.

 

did you hit a pot hole or something? your talking about how your wheel looks pusshed back towards the firewall correct?

 

Nope, it could be a caster problem but even if it is you can't adjust caster

 

that happend to me when i hit a curb............I had to replace the whole lower control arm.......cost me about 80 bucks went to a local honda heaven here

 

LOOKS LIKE YOUR BUMPER IS HANGING ALITTLE

 

just take a look at all of the supsension parts maybe a bushing cracked or something bent

I actually went up a curb and it was like that. I've been driving it like that for almost half a year now, but I just noticed since I replaced my fenders. Now that I know how it looks, I get paranoid going over bumps.

And yes, it's pushed back.

 

Nope, definitely you have bent suspension parts. It could be the lower control arm itself or the mounting points in your subframe.

Are your tires wearing unevenly?
Does the steering wheel pull to one side during driving?

You have to have that car checked ASAP, after fixing/replacing damged parts, then you have to get it aligned.

Note that with a stock suspension, only the toe can be adusted on a civic. Camber/caster is fixed unless you have camber kits.

Goodluck!

 

Ii recently replaced the stock michelins and the insides of both tires where aten up. My car also pulls hard to the right.

 

get a alignment, u definately need it. before they do any adjustments ask them if CASTER is out. it its out then buy a lca, then do the alignment. if you were to do the alignment with the caster still being out the car will pull.

i believe hondas do not have caster adjustment.
its definitely bent suspension parts.
i would get a friend with the similar car and compare it, i'm sure you'll find something wrong.
Good Luck!
