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!

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
