Hello guys, I need some help here.


Back in December I had an accident. I was passing a car when another driver irresponsibly changed lines right in front of me, my first reaction was to avoid hitting the other car on the rear and I tried to brake on the emergency lane but the other car hit the back bumper of my Evo and caused it to abruptly turn sideways hitting a curb around 60mph.


Now my car is fixed but I’m still figuring out what could be bent on the rear driver side suspension. The rear tire camber is bad.


I changed the trailing arm and the toe control arm, but the problem persists. What else could be wrong. Here are some pictures.

 

Did you get an alignment after fixing the suspension? Looks like there is a ton of positive camber on that wheel.

 

change the knuckle and strut too.

 

Thanks for the reply. I got an alignment but the they couldn't figure out what part was bent

 

Thanks for the reply. I will follow your advice and get the knuckle for this side.

 

if the upper mount of the strut is bent wouldnt it offset the chamber like that? if you slide sideways into a curb it would kick the rim in on the bottom, pulling the base of the strut outward and bending the upper mount slightly. and that would continually offset the chamber positively. I think.

might be a lil overkill.. but seems likely to me.

 

Thanks to all for the reply.

Today I removed the tire and found that the upper arm bushing was bent. So I removed it for a closer look. Here are some pictures.

 

yep.. that would do it... upper strut mount... upper control arm mount... eh its all the same...

 

Those are replaceable. Get the Whiteline ones and do both sides.

Might as well do the other rear bushings too.
