Default Civic Problems

What could be bent? I know the wheel itself isnt but what else could be. I cant mess with it until the insurence comes and looks at it. It prolly doesnt look as bad in the pics but its bent pretty good. Just thought id ask and see if anyone has ran into one of these problems. Oh yea and just incase someone asks, some girl hit me yesterday in her truck.

Looks like the arm that holds the camber is bent. Might have to replace the bearing also. Should be an easy fix. Fucking women cant drive.

Took the rim off today and i hope its just the rear upper control arm. I hope its not the shock itself. Ill be taking it off tomorrow and checking that out. Here are a few more pics...

Wow dude. It looks like you actually lucked out.

Get that arm replaced. Or you could buy a rear camber kit.

Either way, that dent is going to be expensive to repair. Almost as much as a normal paint job.

I hope insurance is on your side.

No. I think it was at Grease Monkeys house. I pulled up in a white hatch, and you were in yours. You were buying some seats for yours from Dave.

I think.
