Any ideas what parts I have bent/damaged and will need to replace to return the camber to standard? And approx costs?
I've had enough of this mod!

pulled over... had a look... said F**K
See if you can get under there and take a picture of the 'metaly mechanical bits' connected to the wheel/shocks etc. Might be able to see what's bent/broken then.
my friends car looked like that and when he went to the mechanic he said that the axle was broken n a whole heap of shit.

a panel beater told him that he bent the chassis...
hahaha, shit aye, looks like when i did my wheel like sobut mine was negative camber, even when i put a space saver one it was just missed the shock by 1cm. lol.
what i say is.
get a 2nd hand trailing arm (this should also come with the hub and bearing), with upper and lower control arms.
replace that.
your STRUT maybe bent, same as your subframe.
but i'd recommed doing what i said first, and if that fails, it's more likely to be your strut.
and if that fails i might be your subframe. but hey you could of bent your strut tower as well, but i kinda doubt that.
Agree!Quote:

i recently changed my purchased a rear camber kit for my EF2 from MODPROJECT...
but the damage looks more then just the camber arms....
Ok,
there is no rear axle in fwd's.. funny how people are mentioning this.
I would say it is the upper arm.. but it could be a number of things
you really need get it looked at if you dont know what you are doing, and hope it is just a bent or damaged arm, or even bushing and hope that nothing on the body/frame has been damaged
I'd say traling arm or lower control arm.
Most probably control arm cause it would have taken the beef of the force considering the way you hit it.
Jack the car up and take the wheel off and take a pic. Then we'll be able to make better decisions.
G'day,
I've pulled the car to bits today and worked out the problem... I've measured things and compared sides etc and I think the only damage is to the trailing arm, which is well bent.
So. I'm in the market for a trailing arm... anybody?
Photographing the damage proved difficult, but here is a snap of the trailing arm. I also need both inner and outer hub bearings.

Anyone? I think i'll start a WTB thread.
I think these are aftermarket one..
Civic 88-91, CRX 92-95, Del Sol, Integra 94-01

Or
Am i just total wrong...
Thats a lower control arm. It goes from the chassic to the hub, just like the trailing arm, but it goes from a different place.
lca goes to the rear subframe you mean.Quote:

some people may call it that, i think rear subframe is more of a accurate term.
