Problems With Rear Axle

[17lowpros]

Maybe you guys can help me. I was with a couple of people finally got a civic, and jus stuck in a 5spd, Well, I'm testing it's power on a straight away, So i burn out and see how fast it can go, well i dunno what i hit, but i lost control of the vehicle, and jumped a curb. The rim is bent, The axle doesnt look bent, but does anyone know where i can get a picture of the Rear Axle Shaft so i can compare em. But the router looks like it's bent as well. If anyone has any pictures of the Axle, please send em, and give me any ideas on what i should do.

Well When i hit the curb, the tire sits \\ instead of straight ||. Ok, well i didnt know if didnt have Rear Axle,s Im use to having RWD. The tire and Rim is bad, the router is even bent. Any ideas, what could be wrong, i havent tried gettin some steelies yet, but i plan on getting 1 today and a new tire. Do i need to replace the brake routers and everything.

well i seriously doubt that the roter is bent, because most likely you have drum breaks in the back. Im not even sure if your still talking about your rear wheels or not. But unless you have an SI or you are out of the US and i know know what car you have (you still havent said) then you dont have disk's in the back. but sounds like either your rear lower control arm (the object labeled #8 at the bottom right of the picture)


or your camber is all F'ed up which could be a host of things, camber controls the pitch of your wheel on the ground so instead of || your wheel is \\ it might be a bent frame rail (worst case) or it might just be a busted shock or spring. take some pictures or something.

Yea, ill take some pictures later on today, but I have a 1993 Honda Civic EX Coupe. With the stock 14 inch steelies, I didnt do it with me 17 inch motegi's, thanks god. Worst case, bent frame rail, pretty much is alot of money to repair im guessing? But i will takes pictures in about an hour or so.

looks like you can get away with just replacing the rear trailing arm with a junkyard piece. that's the monstrosity labeled 7/8 in the picture above.

So i couldn't jus replace the rear brake drums? and the studs. Cause it looks like the drums is the only thing thats tilted, and if getting a rear trailing arm, how much you think it would run, a price range.
