Suspension problem

This morning I went to get into my car and went to back up, my car felt like it was hardly moving. I went and looked at the tires in the front, both front tires were bubbling at the bottom. Then I noticed that the driver side wheel was aiming straight forward and the passenger side front tire was angling out about 15 degrees. I know it is a problem with the front suspension and possibly could be a problem with the tie rods but it could maybe be another problem. The only upgrade I have on my suspension is HKS hiper drag coilovers lowered aprox. 2 inches.

Re: Suspension problem

yeah my guess is one of your tie rods snapped or you are in need of an alignment in a bad way!

Re: Suspension problem

Re: Suspension problem

yea always get an alignment after any suspension upgrade. Especially doing coil-overs lol. I hope you did after you put those on......i didnt do it for about 3 months after lol and yea you dont want to have to buy new tires for a stupid reason........but i guess you already are. Unfortunately mine were falkens that still had about 50,000 more miles of tread life on the actual tire lol, but i rubbed too the cords on the inside. OH Well. Takes one time to learn your lesson. I know i did.
