Civic bit the curb.
So.... pretty positive I need a new trailing arm in the rear on the drivers side.... Cant I get one from the auto wreckers for a lower model and put my SI disk brakes onto it or do I have to find a SI one?
What are the chances that I also fucked up the LCA, and possibly the UCA? The UCA seems to have lots of bushing slop so I highly doubt I tweaked it. I hit the curb doing about 15km/h sideways by the time I almost saved it.

Re: Civic bit the curb.
yea I checked that location @ the front of the trailing arm. perfectly fine. The tire rubs on the trailing arm so thats the culprit. ------- garbage.
Can I swap everything from my trailing arm over to say a dx/cx with drums and to run disks or no?

Re: Civic bit the curb.
have fun with the toe adjustment arm, that thing is a ------ bitch, on my conversion the bushing backed out and i had to use a cut off wheel to annihilate the thing, and then cut the bottom of the frame to put the little nut back in the guide that it bolts to. Horror. But hopefully you didn't ---- anything up too badly, and hopefully it all swaps over easily for you.
