Bent my suspension, any suggstions?

Car is an 01 Acura CL. I went years with no problems then decided to put bigger cylinders in the front to get more lift and managed to do some kind of damage. Now I have a pretty good amount of positive camber when the car is at stock ride height. First I saw the ball joint was popping out, so I welded those down, reinstalled, did nothing. Then I thought I bent the upper control arm...replaced that, did nothing. Second I thought it was the lower control arm...replaced that, did nothing. So now I'm entirely stumped...any input here? Thanks.__________________

silly wabbit juice is for breakfeast lol j/k spindles??? hub bearing? or if u got uppers ur upper or some thing on top

Got a pic of that welding on the balljoint? Or a pic of the side that's giving problems?

If you replaced all that then really the only thing left is the spindle and bearings. Did you try to get it aligned? Just a thought.

maybe if you want more lift you could do a spring over and you wouldnt have the camber issues if you used a straight axle!

that could be .. On mine I had a stupid amount of positive camber when I was all the way up .. Went and got an alignment and it brought it in a good amout. Shits all out of whack again but that may help

man it seems like the only reson your spindles would bend is if your driveshaft was bottoming out and pushing on the spindle. i would think the lower arms would be the ones to bend cause you got a fast settup. any luck findin anything out?

it's ur spindel it bends really easy with juice

i can tell ernie's fucked some shit up before but yeah he's right juice can bend a spindle cuz there's alot more power there than with AIR.

Could you have possible bent the sheetmetal that the upper control arm mounts to inside the fenderwell. It seems kind of far fetched but maybe possible?
