I hit a curb the other night and the front tire is not centered anymore in the fender well. I think I bent the lower control arm. I have only found them for around $360. Does anyone know a better price I can get it for?

 

As much as that is, I'd stick with OEM for suspension parts. Look at different sites for parts like OEMAcuraparts.com.

 

Or acuraoemparts.com. I wouldn't be afraid to use aftermarket parts in this situation. In some cases, they're actually better than OEM. Like the rear control arms which are adjustable on the aftermarket ones. Try Rockauto.com for comparison purposes first

I have never heard of ANY aftermarket adjustable control arm lasting nearly as long as OEM. Additionally you won't find any adjustable front lower control arms on the market for this vehicle. For a front LCA, OEM will be best (even used OEM).

BTW: Don't just replace an expensive LCA without knowing the problem for sure. You could have damaged any number of components under there and ended up with the same result. Have you ruled out:
- damaged subframe
- damaged knuckle
- damaged tie-rod
- damaged ball joint

 

Well a tire shop told me that the control are was bent, and possibly the knuckle and tie rods. I did a little research on this and a lot of people with the same issue replaced the control arm and got it aligned and the knuckle seemed to be fine. So I figured I would start with the control arm and when getting aligned they would tell me if the tie rod is bent, but not sure if this will work.

 

Look for a used LCA in your area:

Thanks for the site. I was able to order all my parts and have some money left over to get the a spec skirt for my tl type s.
