bent suspension - Honda Prelude Forum

premiumprelude · 04-15-2002, 09:21 AM

Hey guys what's up?

Yesterday I hit a curb pretty hard while racing, and i seem to have either bent or broken something in my front suspension. I have a '93 si.

The car now pulls VERY hard to the right, and both front wheels have a wobble in them (mainly the front drivers side)

What should I expect to be wrong? Do you think the damage should be limited to the upper control arm? lower control arm? tie rod? other stuff?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Dylan

HMMM........... I could say ANY or ALL of the above! and you might also have a bent wheel. You might want to start by rotating tires from front to back see what difference does that make. if it still pulls to the side/wobbles, then you might want to browse your local Junk yards and buy the whole driver's side Spindle!(lower control, arm, wheel hub, and rotor)

Join the club. I'm still slowly fixing my suspension problems. It all depends on how hard/angle you hit. But your wheels are most likely bent. Your subframe MIGHT be bent as well. Along with everything else 96LudeVTEC said.

Take it into a reliable show and have the take care of it. Replacing suspension parts with home tools sucks, I've sent 5 hours just trying to put a radius rod back in because it wouldn't line up... Save yourself the time and trouble and take it in.
