Driver Front Fender Bender

To make it short and simple I have pictures of what is going on with my 90 gs. I bought it last March 2013 from a co-worker of mine. So I’m slowly working it getting it back in shape. As of right now I replace the Driver side fender and Driver side lower control arm. I just can figure out what is bent from the images provided. Seems like the Driver side tire is tilted. Any help is appreciated.














It’s really hard to tell from the pictures you provided. But IT SEEMS like it’s either or a combination of having positive camber (upper control arm) and being toe’d out (tie rods). But again the pictures are hard to distinguish what’s going on…

OK. Tell me about it. I keep going on the passenger side to see if any thing is different. Hard to tell. Hopefully by the end of the month I should have a parts car and see if anything is off and maybe find out what else is bend.

Things can be bent a few degrees and you’d never tell by looking at it.

I’d fork out the dough for an alignment tech to look it over and give a diagnostic on it.

Okay will do. I’ll probably get it look at this weekend.







Here are more pics. Sorry if it still does not help. I will get the alignment check this weekend for sure to see what is going on. If you notice the last picture from the driver side the bottom wheel is kinda tucked in a bit.

Like AV mentioned, looks like positive camber on the front wheel…
