Alright guys i think i found the possible problem in this, i basically jacked my car up and looked under and this is what i found:








This picture is from the other side to show how its supposed to be straight



That bottom arm thing is bent pretty hard and twisted to the side making it like a U. I guess thats why the rotor isnt exactly in the middle, plus idk if the last picture is normal, i just took the pic just in case, everything else in there looked normal, no bents nothing. You think i could just take it to a shop and get them to make it straight again? or should i find a new one? Also i have a biiiiiigggggggg problem, i cannot find the key lock for my rims, i have one that unlocks 4 of them, but the fifth one i cant find what do i dooo???????

is this that piece?

 

it came off that *uck up car? and its in perfect condition?? wow..

89 bucks things are looking up^

 

ok i finally found the lock for my rims and i took off that wheel, and when i tok it off, i got a closer look at things and i noticed that my sway bar under there was bent, as you can see on the last picture, so i guess i need a new sway bar, and a new control arm. most likely i will buy a performance one, unless if i can find someone that has the stock one. can i take off the sway bar and the car will be ok without having one on? or will the car split in half or something? lol

 

i would highly recomend getting new control arms they both might be bent so check the top one also.. also compare both side of the car so u can notice the diferences in the angles of the arms.. they look bent but i cant tell the from the pics on the top one but the bottoms one is toast. dont reshape it buy a new one.

you should be ok without the sway bar off the car but i would not do an heavy driving. take it slow and easy. also dont get a mechanic for that ____ dude. those are all easy parts to swap out. the arms are not hard and the only thing i would recomend also replacing is the axle as the boot looks busted and so could the insides.. that leak should not be there and i wouldnt take a chance... start by switching the LCA and the UCA (if its bent or damaged) see if that helps straighten it out. then start inspecting the rotor assembly and ball joints.

you might be able to get around with the axle for a few days but atleast you can start driving again.

 

i thought i read that the lower control arm is pretty hard to install without a proper lift, i mean i have the jack stands if that helps. i only noticed that the lca is bent beyond belief and the sway bar is bent and hitting the axle , those two parts are wats make the wheel pushed all the way back like the picture shows. im not sure where that leak is coming from but i will take care of this as soon as i get a job lol

 

if i take off the lower control arm will my car fall? cuz i wanna just get everything ready for when i get the new parts.

 

leave your car on jack stands. how the hell are you going to drive of even lower the car with no control arms holding it together and the strut in place. lol are you high??

 

some people ....


HAHAHAHAHAHHahhaha

 

lmao no im not gonna drive it, i said i wanted to take off the lower control arm just to get it ready for when i buy another one. but if i take off the lower control arm, will the car fall? and will i have the hardest time to get a new one on? god this is scary lol. i might need help installing these things lol

 

if its on jack stand ..... how would it fall? take othe wheel off so there is not as much weight to work with..

 

Just leave it like this...

that is where mine sat for a week or so when I had alot of the suspension powder coated.

 

2 on the left and 2 in the mid ? or is it my eyes..

 

dont be a puss. get in there and get to work. stop being lazy. your never gonna get it fixed if you dont start something.

jack the car up and leave the front on jack stands or atleast that side and get to work!

 

and if you need help LMK. ill be taking apart my suspension saturday for some upgrades. your welcome to watch, learn, AND HELP lol.. bring 6pack also as we need fuel to work correctly!

 

the exact same thing happened to me a couple years ago...while riding on kuhmo ecsta supras. but i messed up my front end too. the transmission was shot and i ended up paying about $3500. but this was in a civic, not a scion.

i learned the hard way not to drive like an idiot on the street.

 

Just got back from seeing it. It's no blockbuster, but it has some entertainment qualities.

 

LOL it does look that way.. no it is 2 on the left and 2 on the right. on the sub frame area's.

 

lol fine, tomorrow i will try and take off the sway bar, atleast i will try lol

 

need help leme know..
