hello everyone! it's been a-while since i've logged in.
{my office computer crashed,,,& i only have AOL at home} hope all of you are doing fine. here is my situation,,,,,,,,, i screwed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) having a-little fun the other night ,,took a left hand turn {sweet curve} intentionally drifted into it, and went too far. hit the curb w/ my right rear wheel. now my car handles like a ford pinto! i can't see any damage to the body {broken welds,,bent metal etc.} could i have bent the A arm? {i think that is what you call the rear suspention console} if so ,,,i have parts cars i can steal one off of. just replaced all 4 bushings in the rear last week! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) to make it even worse,,,,the wife's car bit the dust yesterday. so i have a two seater ,,,a wife,,,& 3 kids needless to say we're kind-of stuck at home. will it hurt to drive like this? if i can find out how,,,it will be fixed this weekend. thank you in advance,,,,,, BRIAN |

Well, I have not done what you did (so far) and hit a curb or anything, have you checked your wheel in the rear? What wheels are you running? Fuch, pedrinis, mahles, rivieras? You may have only bent a wheel depending on how hard you hit. I would start with the least expensive stuff and work my way in. If you dont see any damage to the wheel, you may not have done much to the suspension. If the wheel is bent, it may not show till you jack it up and spin it. Start there. Post the results so we know what you have.
