OK so once again i will tell what exactly happened
i was at the bar cuz of this girls birthday and since i didnt think i could drive, i let my friend drive my car because he was sober( he probably had couple shots .. i dont know ) but he was fine.
It was raining pretty hard as usual (seattle) and on the way back home, ( i was just sleepin in the passanger seat) my friend was tryin to avoid somethin and hit the curve on slippery road ( thats what he says.. believe it or not) and we got home safe
Believe it or not that is what happened for real.
sorry if i didnt interpret right on my first post
i do understand and dont really care if you dont believe it or not..
anyways i took it to Acura of BELLEVUE today
and total estimated price was 3500..
just for the parts were around 1200
and rest of 2 grands were for Labor....
there goes my money that i saved for mods....
but i am thinkin of just get the part and have someone do it.
is there anyone around seattle area would do it for 500... ? including installin my H&R spring? i will give u extra like PS2+games and dreamcast... and girls !
.... not sure bout girls actually

I mean, nobody is trying to blame him for all drunkards. Lighten up. I respect the fact that you came to his defense since he was telling the truth. But regardless, let it go.

And people are taking out anger if you read the first couple replies or so, Sympathy from me? No. Lesson? Yes. I bring it up time and time again not to make it personal(I never said that) but to make a point(you're right) that its unnessesary to flame, lighten up? I would if we didn't get pummled because we tell the truth here...i have let it go now at least...everybody else should have before the posted in response to his drunk comment...

Never, never, never drink and drive. Take this accident as a warning.........
Pertaining to your stering wheel, it's tilted off center to right because the hard impact of a wheel hitting a curb will move your wheel back probably
1 degree negative caster. This in turn will make the car pull to the right when on cruise.
I strongly suspect a bent lower control arm. You need to find something bent and for you to replace it.
My solution ..........
Take the car only to an alignment specialist with a reputable name.
Be ready to spend 300-500 max w a 4 wheel computer alignment.
No need to go to the dealer .Car will be fine again.
