well i know u cant say from the pics but roughtly?

how much would a mechanic charge?

thanks guys


cheers guys. well its going off to the mechanics 2moro and all. so lets see how we go =]

u just need new wheels. dude. doesnt look like there's anything else to it. so no point taking it to a mechanic.
second that, i think your control arm mayb bent looks like the front wheel has been pushed back. roughly dc/eg is about 100~ also ur guards look buckled and ur front bumper too.

other than that, i dont think you really need a mech to do the job.

[jon22]

thats a huge buckle man.... you mite be able to fix it, small buckles are roughly 150. but that one is huge so im not to sure.

[V73C]

whoa dang. Just get a new one mang, might not be worth fixing it.

[Lukey]

whyd you get so close to the gutter in the first place?

[xntrik]

These things happen.
Wont be much to fix.

[MWAKU]

looks bad but yeh

dunno about the integrity of the wheels are now but yer, is it possible to buy 1 of those rims again from where u got it?

[koolio]

hey guys,

well my disk is broken, and the front right wheel has moved back a few degrees.

and my rear right wheel is on an angle ... :S say / <- like THAT! but not that bad say 5 degrees off...

[Chriskoss]

whyd you get so close to the gutter in the first place?

who cares, its done now, no point cryin over spilt milk

OP : Happened to me too, just one wheel though, wet conditions, bald tyres = fail lol..

My front wheel is also pushed back more, so hopefully it is control arm as the bloke said before, if you get it checked out, could you please let me know what it is it fix the front right wheel that was pushed back a few degrees, if you dont mind

good luck, hope its nothing bad

[Chriskoss]

Hey man, I did some google research,
People on Honda tech and etc say it most likely is the LCA, that it is bent and you just need to replace that part. But it could also be subframe, which they say all you need to do is loosen it and push it more forward,
I reccommend getting a professional to doing this though, unless you really know what your doing, I dont so Im going to save up and go the mechanics

Heres the link to one of the sites I read, take a geeze

simply off the topp of my head done for other cars ur looking at usually a max of 2-300 $ if your lower Controll arms damaged. thats incl labour and if your disk is broken add 50-100 ish.. for new...

but my rear ones gone too.. :S

[koolio]

lols, well its at the mechanics now, gotta get


- front drivers lower controll arm
- front drivers wheel hub
- front drivers wheel disk
- front right rear lower control arm
- front right rear wheel hub

if anyone in syd is selling these parts?

i know wreckers are but i need something cheap...

cheers guys...

THE HUBS are compulsory said by the mechanic...

[Zilli]

front wheel needs replacing
rear wheel may need replacing
your disc which you say is broken needs replacing
the above may have damaged hub and cv/axle
may need to replace suspension arms for front, upper and lower
may need to replace your struts (front and rear) as it may be bent
may need to replace lca for rear, and possibly upper suspension arm
your front wheel has damaged your guard and bumper and possible your door

this is a bit of a wrap i'd say... guys... OP asked for the parts he needs to fix his car... keep it on topic please

[Zilli]

you beat me to it!

[koolio]

im paying 150 for labour for all that fitted...

i think thats an awesome price, seriously! i dont think anyone would do it that cheap...

i have to find the parts but! ><! its a pain...
