I hit a curb the other day on my passenger side front wheel. Some stupid *** didnt check his mirrors and ran me off onto the curb . Anyway my wheel is pushed back . It's kinda hard to explain but picture this : On a normal front wheel you have equal gaps between the tire and fender, and tire and front bumper. On mine theres a big gap between the tire and front bumper and little if any gap between the fender and tire. Does anyone know what part I need to replace to fix this ? I'm under the impression its the lower control arm but i'm not sure. Sorry I don't have a digi cam on me but i drew out this quick sketch :

I appreciate the help guys

My friend Mike (jdmDXrex) did this about a year ago when I first put his B16A into his car... He thought that it was cool that he could spin in the rain and he understeered into a curb... For his '88 Rex we bought a new LCA and tie rod... He still had to take his car in to be put on the chassis jig so they could pull the front end out... It actually wasn't too bad and was only smashed in about an inch... I know what you're saying about the gap tho cuz his car was the same way... Total cost after pulling the front end, buying the new LCA and tie rod, and getting an alignment was ~$700... If it's bad enough you'll most likely have to take it in, I guess it just depends if it torqued the chassis or not... Good Luck

 

Yeah I had a friend who did that in his '97 hatch. We replace the lower control arm which he had snapped into and that was really all the damage except to his fender. Sounds like you did something similar unless you were going really fast, alas the only way to tell for sure is to pull the wheel off and look around.

 

just let the guy hit you next time then he pays.
i would think that all you wuold need is lower control arm and tierod. oh and an alighnment.

Would the integra(94+) LCA be the same???

 

You should take a close look at where the LCA meets the subframe too.
