Front driver side tire problem (lower control arm?)

[hnsenter]

Symptons:

Tire, knuckle and everything is pushed back and up. When i turn left it'll rub on the splash shield (?)

second, when i changed springs, the knuckle and lower control arm popped up. Took three people to get the shocks back on. Big black guy the actually step on the knuckle and push down. Another to line up the knuckle and shocks and another too put the bolts through.

The whole thing is actually pushed up and to the back..

Could it be anything other than lower control arm and knuckle/spindle?

Your front subframe may be bent.

is there a way to find out for sure? I'm hoping not, sounds really bad. =(

What did you hit? You can take it to a shop and get a free estimate, then just say you cant afford to fix it, then go home and do it yourself.

jack up the car and look at the mounts. more than likely, its the control arm and the tension rod. also check the tie rod and ends and sway bars and links.

huh never thought of that before.. just take it to the shop and get a estimate. haha. thanks guys for the responses.

I didn't hit anything I bought the car like that. Didn't realize it until i dropped the car. Just thought that the alignment was off. decent price for it i suppose.
