hit the curb.

[cleanjdm]

ok yea i was making a right hand turn and i wasnt paying attention and there was a curb median on the left and i hit it pretty hard, wasnt going that fast maybe like 10. so i hit it and the wheel jerks hard to the right and now the car pulls hard to the right, the steering wheel is fucked up too. i have to hold it 180 degrees left to keep the car moving straight. the left wheel isnt bend or anything but it has positive camber and rubs on the inner well. i jacked up the car everything looks fine. what all could it be so i can go to the junk yard and get this shit right again? i know i'll need an alighnment job afterwards. please help!!

Might have bent your tie rods - best way is to get under there and take a look.

I did the same thing back in Dec. 2007, mine had positive camber and pulled hard to right just like yours.


I had to replace the front piece that has the tie rods and front motor mount on it, pass. tie rod, pass. control arm, and still need to replace the piece behind the motor that has the steering rack and everything else on it.

could be your LCA's too.

i hit the curb back when it was snowing hit the rear side. and bent both of my LCA's. and it was cocked to the right.

i got that replaced and the wheel is almost perfect. just need an alignment still.

Would be a good time to order a polyurethane bushing master kit for the front end!

If you hit the curb with front wheel...
There are basic repair must be done for safty and future problems.

1. Replace the front strut. (shock)
2. Replace the hub bearing.
3. Replace the knucle.
4. Inspect the control arm for any damage and if needed replace it.
5. Wheel Alignment is needed.

Hitting curbs suck!!!

Hitting curbs suck!!!

Indeed it does. This is an alignment chart after I hit a curb with both passenger side wheels after hitting a patch of ice last winter (on my currently retired 93' LX; hoping to repair next summer when I am back in Utah).
