----...Anyone ever hit a curb in a EG?
Well its winter in canada, the first snowfall in my city was today, anyway I did not get my winters on yet because I was about to buy some this weekend, I ended up hitting a curb at 20 kph thats like 12mph so fairly slow, I was accelerating and turning on to a street and the front decided to slide forward and I hit a curb. the wheel is pushed back, the alligment is off...what I am wondering is if it bent the control arm or if its just aligment? I have no clue what it is now because its dark, but I know that the wheels are crooked like this:
Front Drivers side --> \\ || <-- Front Pass side.
I will be looking at it tomorrow, I just dont know what to expect, this is my first accident since I started driving 5 years ago.
What else could have been bent/broken? the car still drives but pulls hard to one side, the frame is probably ok seeing as it was only 12 mph.
Talk to me guys. this ---- has me worried to no end.

My accord was hit like that one time, ended up needing a lower control arm and rear beam behind the engine. Since civics dont have beams it might have tweaked the lower control arm mounting point, tough to say how bad it REALLY is without seeing it but id bet its probably pretty bad
