My co-worker has an 01 ex 2-door. Recently she had a blow-out and noticed that the front driver-side tire was sitting crooked. From the looks of it, there's a verticle barthe comes up from the hub assmebly that is noticeably bent.Another one of my co-workers called it a spindle, but she can't find any replacement parts under that name. Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

 

Ok, I went and looked at it so I can be a little bit more specific about it location. Its an upright that runs from the upper control arm to the lower A-arm. It bent bad enough that it actually pulled out the upper ball-joint.

 

There are two images on here from a parts website (www.hondapartsdeals.com) for an 01 Accord. Let us know if any of the parts are the ones that are bent.

Its kinda hard to read, but it looks like 15. (the second component from the left on the bottom picture)

 

That picture is pretty high resolution. When you click on the link below it, you should be able to zoom in and still see things very clearly.

The second item from the left is the knuckle. It is labeled #1or#2. Just to be clear, this is a big cast iron piece that holds the brake, rotor, hub, and the tire?

I always find Ebay useful to identify parts. Just search "accord knuckle" without the quotes and look at the pics. Remember the front and rear knuckle look a lot different.
