How do you expect me to diagnose what's wrong over the internet? Why don't you crawl under the car and check things out yourself rather than blindly asking why your car is pulling to the right. Look for any bolts/nuts that have moved. For example, there are two large bolts that connect your rear strut to the knuckle. There will be obvious/fresh scratches in the strut if the bolts did in fact move. Check if the trailing arm or either control arm is bent. Jack the car up and shake down that wheel to get an idea of wheel bearing and suspension bushings conditions.

You will learn more by figuring out how things work yourself instead of just reading about it online.

 

me and my friends who are mechanically inclined looked at the car on a lift today and i looked under it a couple times. nothing looks bent or broken, everythings on target as far as i can see. I am just wondering if the alignment could have been messed with from the hit? in other words nothings broken but the car was unaligned as if i hit a ginormous pot-hole.

 

If you are still convinced your car is pulling to the side, double check the tire pressure in that tire. Uneven tire pressure can cause it to pull.

Also, I have to agree with other members here and suggest thinking of selling the car for something less advanced for you. I read in your other thread, you were driving around with the mods you have, and were only making 190 hp, down about 100, and you didn't realize until you went to get it retuned. Probably not the right car for you.

 

Already checked tire pressure and the cars in the shop now, and i always suspected something was wrong just never questioned it, theres no problem with being cautious..

 

Good luck getting everything resolved. Your Evo will be back to normal soon. Stuff happens, just chalk it up to bad luck or whatever and move forward. The Evo is truly a special car that we are all lucky to own. Just enjoy it dude.

 

i forgot to say that they said they can pull the quarter panel back to place, but when most shops do this they use bondo, correct? im going to ask more questions tomorrow. and btw i enjoy my car all the time through good or bad, especially washing it like twice a week but i dont enjoy being hit in the buttox by suvs

 

When I had my WRX, I was involved in a rear end collision that warped my tie rod causing my car to pull. Low tires like everyone else said will do that too. But, you said you already checked that so meh.

 

car is in the shop still no word yet on wheter its the alignment or something else. Someone i was talking to said i may have bent my subframe or a suspension part, i looked under the car nothing looks off. i hope its just the alignment, no one can give me a straight answer so i guess ill just wait...everyone has a different answer/opinion.

 

did the SUV driver cover your medical bills?

 

no one was hurt this was a fender bender at about 5mph...

 

...exactly. which is why no one on here understands all the drama over it...

 

You got me..

 

You wouldnt have bent a subframe in a 5mph fender bender. Honestly hitting a curb at 20mph will probably do more damage to your car than the wreck that happened.

You are over reacting. At this point no one is going to be able to tell you anything that will make you feel better but the body shop your car is at. I would be willing to bet it is 100% cosmetic.

No one is bashing you at all, they are all simply telling you the same thing. Do a google search of "repaired wrecked cars" and see how bad some of the cars body shops actually are. A lot of them come in and need all new panels, suspension components ect. Actually, do one better and search on the forum in the build section for resurrected evos, you will see that a lot of the cars people STARTED their builds with have much more damage than yours does. If youre here to learn, dont argue with everyone when they say your car is most likely fine... Asking peoples opinion and then stating why you feel otherwise is pretty useless in a forum environment.

This will be all the evidence you need

 

I just wanna know who the hell puts carb cleaner on paint. Thats just ****ing stupid, ever hear of bug and tar cleaner. and im really surprised nobody has said this but, to me that damage looks like you sideswiped something. I hate to say this but as the evo and sti's get cheaper more dumbass kids get them.. go buy a civic
