Camber Grinding and Pulls to the right problem.

[IneedmoreTires]

Alright it was raining so I spun on a wet road and I hit a curb on complete accident, but it wasnt big at all, from what i saw i had a bent tie rod and that was all, so i changed the tie rod for a new one and i thought everything was going to be alright. But I was wrong when I lowered the car I saw that I had more camber on the passenger side (which had the bent tie rod) than the drivers side, so I thought it was the LCA or bushings, so I swapped the bushings and still had camber heres a pic:Passenger Side:

Driver Side:

As you can see the camber is way off on the passengers side. When I drive the car it pulls to the right slowly and when i back out of a parking spot when I turn the wheel all the way to the left I can hear a scraping coming from the front of the car and I feel a TINY pull on the steering wheel when this happens. Also when i was swaping out the bushings from the passenger side of the sway bar i noticed that one of the bolts holding up the bushing was just spinning in place and it wouldnt come out can this be a problem that can cause it?

I really need to get this over with there is a JustDrift event in March that I am attending and I want this problem to go away! I searched her on good ol'Nico and I found that it can be possibly frame damage but that scraping when i turn left just doesnt add up with the frame thing. I need some help please anyone?! haha

alignment?

LCA or even the subframe could be bent. i'd also take off the coilover/strut to inspect the body/mounting bracket. if its coilovers, you may have shifted the camber adj. up top.

edit/ give your tierod-end a turn or two, you're toe'd out

Thanks i might look into doing that, I am running tokico blues right now so im probley going to yank that and inspect everything. I took it for an alignment but the guy said I had a bent frame but I wasnt really sure if I should believe him. Just trying to get some S chassis owners with experience to chime in and help me.

can any of the camber gurus help me out?

[ZOMG.SR20]

best thing you can do is take everything off and match to the other side and see what is different and when you see a difference jot it do and reply

Yeah I hate to sound negative but its something you need to get down and dirty with. Cant tell by a simple pic but I would almost doubt the spindle. Could have bent the strut, strut blots, strut tower, or LCA.

Check it all out, look for cracks in the painted parts. Look for ripples. I would suspect the strut for now or where it bolts too.

Wheel bearing perhaps?

think about what would affect camber...

LCALCA bushingsSubframe (engine crossmember)strut towerknuklestrut itself

my bet is the control arm is bent. They crumple like paper when you hit stuff (I know first hand)

if nothing is bent or too noticable...time to get camber plates and make it right

From all the 240's I have seen that have hit curbs my bet is on the LCA.
