So i have a 2001 Honda civic LX, and I got hit about a month ago. I have absolutely no money to fix it because I have no job at the moment, volleyball is everyday. So its driving me crazy not having a car, so ive decided to take it upon myself to attempt to fix it. It doesn't look bad, i got hit in the front corner of my car, driver side. The bumper is torn off in that corner, the fender is bent, and its wobbly when it drives. I think i can fix the bumper and fender, but does anyone have any idea why my car is wobbly. Like i drove it home after the wreck, it just moved from side to side on the rode, the tires are fine, so im thinking that my alignment is just off. any ideas?

You could simply have a bent tire rim or it could be an axle that is bent. If it the rim not a big deal replace it and have an alignment done . If its the axle or hub that bent that another store. Best have a shop repair it. Done not just replace the rim with out the alignment as they should do a front end inspection before they do the alignment this will tell you if anything else is wrong with your car.Also save your front tires and the possibly others on the road.

Your alignment may very well be off but it could possibly also be a bent sway bar or a broken tie rod. Definately have it looked at just for a diagnostic
