Wheel sitting inside toward the passenger side

[Manny7]

Hey everyone. I have a 2017 Civic Si Sedan. I hit an island while making a turn a while ago and never saw any visible damage to the naked eye. My alignment was off by a bit. Got the alignment done by a local shop and it was good until I put on spacers a couple weeks ago. Also even after the car driving perfectly straight if I did a little hard acceleration the car would go a little bit to the right and on decel would come back a little to the left.

After I put spacers the back wheels were sitting perfect. The driver side was sitting good too and when I looked at the passenger side the wheel was out by roughly 10mm. I am running Enkie M52 wheels with +40 offset so I believe the 20mm spacer was a bit big andit would sit a little outside for sure.

Now on the hunt to find the problem I have already gone through basic steps on changing stuff from the shock to spindle and then the control arm and ball joint for no difference at all. Hasn’t helped a bit.

Please let me know if anyone has gone through this or anyone knows what could be the next step. It might be very small for some people but it bothers me.

TIA

Check if the subframe was shifted.

Check if the subframe was shifted.

How can that be done ? Do you have proper directions as to how ? I opened everything underneath yesterday to have a look at the subframe but it looked ok

Quit throwing money around and take it to a professional and reputable frame shop.

Let me know if you know a shop that would check and properly give an answer around GTA. Most likely every place here is trying to make more money. All the shops that I have been to have made me change the subframe too without checking. I would rather take proper steps.

I'm from Pennsylvania, I have no idea where GTA is. Only GTA I ever knew of was Grand Theft Auto . Look at some independent body shops and ask around.
