messed up wheel

[CivicGSR]

So I am new and all but I do have a question.... about 3 1/2 months ago I slid off of i-25... my passenger side front wheel is now sitting back farther then it should. It doesn’t sit evenly as the driver side. Cross member looks ok, maybe bent axel? I am not sure...anybody have any ideas?

Is your car pulling in any direction?
I believe that you could have a bent axle, or you could have less caster on the right side, or you could have messed up the setback between the front wheels

The lower control arm is probably bent.Does it pull to the right?

I bent the control arm on my volvo once from pretty much the same thiing you did, but i got run off the road, lets hope thats not what it is

doesnt seem to pull...if so it is very little, the steering wheel is more to the left when i drive but if i let go it doesnt seem to pull to the right much...

If the steering wheel is off center quite a bit since the day you went off the road,i'd say you need to get an alignment at the very least.
It's very likely that you have some suspension damage.
you might want to buddy up with HONDA GHANDI,if you are local there in denver(i no longer am local)
Tobi and i used to work together he's a good guy and does awesome work.
good luck to ya!

And you are driving the car? I'd be scared to death to drive that beastie...

Sounds like a bent control arm to me...

Yes, you should at least get an alignment. They should be able to tell you if something is bent while they do it. Best of luck!
