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?

and then get a beater

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 :-X 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.
