Drift accident repair
Yep, hit the front left tyre hard into a gutter trying to drift......
The front left castor rod has snapped off and the control arm is bent + the brakes make an awful scraping noise when I brake + the wheel is back (towards the back of the car) more than it should be and is pretty loose. What have I done? Is it fixable? Have I dont any permanent damage? What parts would I need? Is it a job I can do at home? How much would I be looking at for parts and labour? |

somehow managed to drive it home with a bent control arm, snapped tie rod and with the wheel rubbing up against the guard. cost me 20$ for a used tie rod/control arm and had to replace the radius rod aswell. |

Well a year ago I posted that, and since then I've lost my license :P
But how I fixed it was I had to get a front left castor rod (about $50au) and a front left lower suspension arm (about $70au I think) and then just bolt it off and bolt it on. Some the nuts were a bit hard to get off but with a breaker bar and a bit of elbow grease they came off. I also drove it home with a broken castor rod but if I turned in one direction (it was either left or right, the wheel would rub against the guard), but you could control it. |
