Okay, early this year, i hit a curb to avoid an accident, result was:

broken inner tie rod (left)
maybe something else, bent wise, not sure.

Well, with that said, anybody can tell me why my left wheel is like kinda pushed back, not in, but pushed back as if someone got in front of the car and pushed the wheel back into like the wheel well. So when i like turn it scrubs the inside part of the wheel well. I bent the inner part now, so it dont scrub, but i'd like my wheel to be like centered lol.

Any thoughts, thanks.

Could be a bent FLCA or the T/C rod is broke. Also could be the T/C rod bracket itself, depending on how you hit it.

have you taken it to be aligned after replacing any of the parts?
have you replaced anything?

do you have the alignment specs to post if you did get it aligned. Otherwise it's all speculation at this point bro.

And after replaced the broke parts, inner tie rod, i didnt get it aligned, yes i know, but will tho. So no specs for that.

Whats the FCLCA & the TC? traction control?

LMK thanks yall.

Okay cool thanks for that. :bow:

They carry aftermarket parts for that or should i just go back to factory?

oh btw, i already have front pillow tension rods. didnt get it aligned after i installed those either lol. damn im slackin.

Will that also be the cause of why my wheel isnt toe in like the other side?

Look at how the tension rod is mounted, think about what extending and compressing it would do the suspension.....

It could be.
