Default 1990 honda civic frame bent.

I have a 90 civic hatch,so for the past few months the car has gone through a few sets
of tires in the front. Today I went to get a new st and a wwheel alignment done
because I could see the FUCKEN wires on the outer edge of the tires. When I pay for
work that was done the guy tells me they couldnt do the wheel alignment because
frame is bent.

Right when Iam going to start doing ---- to the car to make it look cool I find this out. Ive
had the car for 3 years, that was three years of figuring wiring problems out, changing the
motor, clutch jobs, getting ---- at pick and pull and now this.

What should I do? Has eny one ever delt with a prob. like this?

could be the sub frame in the front, they bend easy or could be the unibody, subframe you replace, unibody you can get pulled buy a body shop. Are both left and right out side edges worn on the tires?

usally too much toe in does that, its hard to have a "bent frame" on a unibody were both sides are out. Did you get a print out so I can see the numbers?

wow thats bad The left camber is too much soo the top ball joint is in too far, and the right caster is way out, the lower ball joint is too far back. I would take that print out to a body shop and ask them what they think, its definitly been in an aceident.
