91 suspension question

[slomofo]

To make a long story short i avoided a accident by steering off the road. as a result of that i eff'd up my car.i need to get a major alignment and also i see the outer tread of my tire rapidly shreading the question is how would i fix this?

[ExplodingCake]

Get an alignment done and rotate the tires to see if it goes away.

[slomofo]

its only on the front right tire and you can see the wheel tilted outward should i jus get a camber kit and get it aligned?

Something is bent - I suspect it will be the hub/knuckle if the wheel is tilted outward.
Get it to a shop asap - cars aren't safe to drive with highly misaligned suspension

ill take sum pics tomorrow of my tire and you guys tell me wat you think

[Losiracer2]

yeah pics of the damage would explain all, make sure to take some good ones w/ the tire on as well as from underneath so we can see what looks damaged

[slomofo]

heres pics there from a camera phone so sorry for the bad quality

[slomofo]

anyone have any suggestions on wat could be wrong

[Losiracer2]

it looks like your axle is not sitting straight, like it's cocked at an angle. But look at your radius rods and upper and lower control arms to see if any of those look bent at the bushing/mounting point. Also inspect your balljoints, upper/lower/tierod (steering rack) to see if they're in safe shape.

Were those pics taken w/ a cell phone? they're kinda crappy pics if you could take some w/ a digi. cam perhaps it would turn out a bit better? and if you could get pics of the entire assembly a little bit further out so we can see the whole suspension vs. just parts close up that might help a bit.

your tire would def. need replacing though, since its already worn to the belts

i cant see anything MAJORLY wrong but the quality of pics are hurting my eyes lol. You wanna just take the car in for an alignment and if its just out of wack, they can fix it. If somethings bent or broken or messed up too bad they will tell u and they wont charge due the fact that u went in for an alignment and they couldnt do it lol.

[slomofo]

yea i dont have a digi jus a sidekick lol.. but hopefully i get my alignment tomorrow and ill see wat they tell me but ill try and take a pic of the whole assembly and post it up.. thanx

I think its either the lower arm or knuckle that is bent, the wheel alignment people should be able to tell you as they can see the car in person
