Chrno you freak!!! The reason your arms are like that is because you drive your scion like its a drifter from japan!!! Your always trying to taunt me to take you on a hill that makes your car bend in ways that only a heavy car can take. Thats why you blew out your rear tire and had to run on your spare for two weeks!! Dam it chrno!;you need to slow down and bring me breakfast at shop monday! :D oh yeah SLOW DOWN!!! :lol:

now kids.. play nice.. :lol:

easy fix is have the dealer check the alignment.. the alignment rack will show it easily if the caster or anything is off..

You haven't been towed recently, have you? I've seen it twice now in SF - towing away a car that was parked close to a curb in front or near another car... The tow truck driver just hooks under the front driver's wheel and drags the car out sideways until he can get to the front. First one I saw was a Jag, the second, an Exploder. The wheel is left sticking out at a weird angle and the owners probably never know why their alignment is suddenly off - or worse... :roll:

Are you on crack!?! you try to warn us that the lower control arm might be faulty, then you admit that you hit a curb!!

It think your the one that needs to carry the warning lable....

man... dont be snapp'n on me... if u knew about lowering your car, the center weight of gravity puts even more weight and stress on the lower control arms and in some case's they do come loose, they are machine pressed. get some of ur knowlege straigth before you come snapping at me homeboi :!: and hell yeh i'll carry a warning sign on me once u see me ryden ur a$$ off the road

oh yeah and rubbing a curb at 2mph with my donuts rubbing the sidewalls does not throw off my alignment or my lower control arms

Return the Box to stock then take it in :idea:

Been there, done that with my last 2 civic's. Feels nice having a 100% stock car because I've been through $hit like this in the past......

Maybe if you learned English people wouldn't think you're a kid or a dumbass. Language says a lot about a person. Not picking a fight, just making an observation.

Speak as you like, but then don't get bent when people treat you like a dope as a result, that's all. Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's good or you should do it.

I think the point people were trying to make is that if you don't express your message well, the grammar and typos distract the reader and your message gets lost.

BTW, why would you type mah when my is faster?

it has been expressed correctly and nicely yet until UnFocused came up and started to run his mouth all rude.
