or when i can get these parts. many thanks.

 

its really hard to say what exactly is broke without looking at it

 

i hit a curb with my eclipse and my wheel was doing the same thing so my mechanic change out the suspension arm and it put the wheel back into place but now my car pulls to the right really bad any ideas on this????

 

get an alignment, you may have broken some of the shims that hold the control arms in place

so your telling me that your friend isnt gonna help you out!!!

 

Hey im from surrey! Sweet... nice to see another DSM owner in the UK.... i want to start a club of all UK DSM owners!!!

 

First off try switching the rims. If you move the rim from one side to the other and the hit side looks good you have a bent rim (Or take it to a tire place and have it spin balanced). Now look at your tie rod. Take the car in for an alignment. They can't align it if it's broke. Most places will check if you need one free (At least ehre they do) and that will also tell you if something is broke. (I hit a curb once in my Sentra and bent the rim terribly put the spare on and it was fine suspensionwise just had to replace the rim).
