stuff happened, now my steering wheel has to be turned 90 degrees to the right (turning left) so my wheels are facing straight, theyre cambering like a mother fucker my outside thread is gone, inside is not so bad, and my friend said its either the tie rod that is bent, or a bent strut bar.....any one have any clue wat it could be, how to fix it, difficulty, and what id need to fix it

 

Well, I'd take a look inside the wheel well and see if there's anything noticeably bent or broken. If you wheels are cambering a lot, then it's not just the tie rods. When you turn the steering wheel so the car goes straight, are the wheels actually straight or are they toeing in/out? If they are toeing, the combination between the toe and the camber will wear you tires out fast. My best guess is that you hit a really big bump and bent your frame/suspension links. If it's the links, replace them. If it's the frame, you'll probably need to take it to someone to get it fixed.

guy just looked under it real quick and said the tie rod was bent and that the cv boot was leaking, and something else is fucked up....now im debating on spending 700-900 on fixing my car (maybe more) or just selling it as a complete running parts car for like 1000 and use that as a down payment i dunno....

 

HOW TO FIX IT, CHECK LAST POST BY MADMAn

 

This isnt Integra specific, but its general info for a Rack and pinion Steering system.

Take off the black boot thingy that covers the inner tie rod(bellows boot), disconnect the tie rod from the spindle, and then you should see where it screws into the rack its self, some you can get off with a wrench, and some you need a special Inner tie rod removal tool, basically its like a Line wrench for sockets and is long so you can put a ratchet on the end.(you can prolly rent a kit from autozone or such.)

Now take off the outter tie rod, and count the number of turns it takes to get off, and when installing it on the new inner tie rod put it on as many turns as when taking it off, and you should get an alignment afterwards to make sure the toe is correct since that is what causes the most tire wear.

 

tie rod end from napa for my civic $35.00
cv axles (both) $100.00
something else? never bought one but it should be cheaper to fix an old car than make payments on new.

 

how hard to fix? depends on your mechanicaL ability but this is the factory service manual so it will help
