I drive a 92 civic 4dr lx with the usual mods on it. I have a wheel alignment problem where my right passenger wheel is bent back or shifted back. I've been told it is castor on the whole right side suspension. I got it when i did some stupid maneuver and hit the street curb at 30 mph. the stock 13 inch rim on the right pass. bent and the rim got messed up. I then got new set of 14 inch rims. when i drive stragiht I have to pull the steering wheel to the left a lot and if I let go It will turn hard to the right. it is very bad and i need some tips or help on getting the problem fixed. anyone would be great, help the rookie out, thanks a lot.

 

You could have:

Bent the LCA, the frame, the tie-rod, blown out a shock...

Same thing happened to me (though not at 30mph) and the LCA and shock took the hit. What pissed me off though, was after the incident, I went to an alignment shop, they went ahead and adjusted something but I was left with the same steering crap - just a smidge better. I put up with it for quite awhile till the shock eventually fucked up my tires (from the vibration).

Its almost like they corrected for the bent LCA by adjusting the tie-rod to get the front wheels straight.

 

yeah it could be the first three statement that you said. I recently dropped my front so the springs are out. i'm suggesting that my whole LCA is bent and tie-rod is bent too. anyways thanks a lot for sharing your ideas and story. it really help me more to understand what has been the pain for my car. thank
