Wrecked, causing suspension PROBLEM! please HELP!!!
So my front passgn tire and rim take a HARDDDDDDDD hit on a curb. I got 4 new tires and 4 new rims and had it aligned ... it's still cocked to the right, the steering wheel. So my front passng tire is wearing on the outside only! There is something bend under there. Is there anything I can do? I am a noob sort of ... college student. BROKE AS HELL esp. i thought 4 rims, tires, and an alignment would fix it. I was wrong. There are parts under the wheel well that is bent. Can anyone tell me what the parts that I possible could of bend or a list of in the passgn suspension?? I can drive the car but it will wear that NEW TIRE I JUST BOUGHT down to the wires! ;-( HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPP! please thanks!
Took it to Larry's Body Shop, as advised the people who aligned it.
They said they would replace all the components under just the passgn. wheel and then align it again, repairing the car completely for what he said 500 dollars's , gave me a *wink* and said $450 cash. Am I getting ripped off? Could I just buy the parts and attempt to but them on ? IT"S SUMMER IM 21 YEARS OLD AND THIS PROBLEM SUCKS!!! NOT HAVING A CAR.... surely someone is out there! ;-) tHanks alot Acurazine members!
You most likely bent the lower control arm. Thats a very, very easy fix. The lower control arm goes for about $130, and takes about an hour to replace if you do it yourself.
It is number 7 and 9 in the picture. Part number 51355-S84-A00 for the pass side.
Can you take a picture of the area so we can see if anything else is tweaked.
Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THAT GUY! $450 is rediculous if its just the lower control arm.
And welcome to the forum.

Pictures would be helpful.... i'll take some tomorrow on the camera phone.
There is something bent. I wish I could name the exact piece. lol
He let me feel the knot or bend on the metal piece. So I know it's bent.

how did they align the car if u have suspension damage? thats not right. u can take it to some shops, some of them give u a free suspension check\ or an under car check
Yea, thats why I told him not to take it back to that shop. If they can plainly see that something is bent, they shouldnt have aligned it.
