Hello, I just bought a 96 aspire with under a hundred thousand miles. It has some damage to the driver side front end, the wheel is pushed back a little further than it should be. Anyone have any suggestions on where I should start to fix it? It clicks when I turn corners so I am guessing it needs a half shaft. i will attach some pics, Thanks for the helpIMG_0492.jpgIMG_0494.jpgIMG_0495.jpgIMG_0497.jpgIMG_0498.jpg

Needs to be pulled on a frame machine and get all the suspension mount points back to spec where they should be. Have any friends who are bodymen? Really that's the only safe and proper way of fixing it.-93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.

From your user name I think you could fix it good enough your self. Log chain and a large tree. Thats what I did. Hook it up and back the ... up. Did it light a couple of times then gave it hell. Took two hard hits. Measured each time. Compare passenger side measurement between the wheels.'89L 110k mi. BP/G swapped

the other option is to cut the lower rad support out and weld in a straight one after straightening and suring up the forward member. the bent rad support is causing the wheel to be pushed back (sway bar acts as a trailing arm as well and locates the wheel longitudinaly).Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
