car accident
Hey guys got a bit of a tough question here. I got hit from the side, the guy was going about 20-30km/h, and i was still, and he hit me righ ton the wheel. My alignment is really off. The camber is pretty bad, but toe is even worse. when the wheels are closest to be straight as they can the steering wheel is pretty much upside down. It's a 95 civic lx 4dr, any idea what could be broken? What to check for? Let me know, wana get this thing fixed asap.

Re: car accident
Hey, I'm pretty sure the arm coming off of the wheel hub going to the upper A-arm is bent, could that cause the toe angle to be off by a lot? I can see how it can affect camber, but let me know guys.

Re: car accident
Hit up Pick and Pull off Oceana.. use the cars in there to learn what you need first hand. AND you can pull the parts there and get them at a decent price to put them on your car.

Re: car accident
you will need a pickle fork, a pair of pliers, and some wrenches and a socket set. it is fairly easy. do not reuse the old wheel bearing in the new assembly that you pick up. go somewhere and have a new bearing pressed in. i would also replace the wheel studs while you have it all apart for peace of mind.
