hey christian,

just wondering... did you take it somewhere and get it looked at, or are you just rollin' on the tip i gave you about the control arms? i mean, when that same thing happened to me, it bent the crap out of the lower control arm of the side that hit the curb, the other side was unharmed. so you probably only need one. but then again, i'm no expert by anymeans. so you might want to jack it up and have a look see before you go spending money on it.

sorry

i know the rear ones have bigger bolts on the 99+ ... but unsure on the fronts, thanks for the help. me and a buddy look at it breifly at lunch and came to the agreement that a new wheel, balance and alignment should bring it back to good condtion and if not then we would work from there..ill have it put up all the way durng the alignment and have my buddies look at it with me.

speaking from my experience working on cars at a tire shop, an alignment will be absolutely neccessary. good luck on trying to get a bullitt rim for a song, at least they are cheap nowadays to begin with.

if you notice any sort of erratic handling take it to a real shop and have them look at it. a high school bud of mine decided not to fix an LCA/front sway bar he messed up in a similar way as you and he ended up losing control because of the messed up suspension and costing him 3,000$ in paint/body when he sideswiped a wall.

im not doing the work myself... im not well enough versed in susupension components. im trying to get it in sometime this week to put it on the lift to have it inspected... the front control arms seem to be straight though just from my visual inspection... i was just seeing what i have to work with. The car feels sloppy on left corners but im 90% sure that is from the massive toe in condition.

JohnS · 06-24-2003, 12:08 PM

Yeah massive toe in is not a good thing. I just got mine adjusted after chewing up a set of front tires soon than they should have worn out.

i hate it, ive already put 350 miles on the car in its current condition... but i only take her to places i trust and only hands i know touch her so i had to get her back here. work owns me this week so itll be hard, ill probably be eating a lunch or two at the shop...

JohnS · 06-26-2003, 07:30 AM

I took it to a guy that posts on AAS and works at the NTB in Round Rock. Hey is a really cool guy, took about fifteen minutes to adjust the toe in on my coupe.
