slid into a kerb yo, while doin mad tyte tokyo dorifto
Okay so i need some help here, two days ago was first snow/first ice on the roads. I hit some black ice and curbed my left rear wheel.
I'm driving a 94' civic ex w/ abs. I dented my steel wheel but i got that fixed. Now my problem is that i have slight positive camber on my wheel. It's very slight and i haven't noticed a difference in driving, but then again i just put on studded tires after the accident. What do you think I screwed up? The camber issue is very very minor, and you wouldn't notice unless you looked hard, but I'm sure that it would definitely wear down my tire over time. So what do you guys think? I'll try to get some pics if i can borrow my brothers camera.
Thanks
okay i got some pictures to show ya'll

no but you need to take it in and tell em what happened. they will inspect other suspension components to make sure nothings loose. and can prolly align it again to stock specs.

You can make slight +/- camber adjustments with the stock arms, but its next to nothing. If you can visually see it then you probably messed something up, or if you didnt, you just shifted the camber arm within the mounting holes and its all good. Take it to an alignment shop.

These cars are a little sturdier than you might think. Just go to a shop tou trust to get it aligned and you should be fine. Even if you do need to replace something you can probably find it at a junkyard. Even with studded tires you should still be able to tell if something is seiously out of whack after a few weeks, as it will get worse.
