just a half shaft. no biggie.

 

wow i tried to unbolt the first one from the sway bar and omg it wont come off, so i tired removing those three bolts from the control arm and they came off ok, i used a good amount of strength and got those 3 out. i didnt want to continue with the rest of the arm because id rather wait till i had the second piece.

 

From the pics I can see that the sway bar endlink is slightly bent, the steering rack is totally F'd (the one with a decent bend in it, its not an axle). The front sway bar might be bent. And possibly upper and lower control arms but I cant tell too well form the pictures.
Just my opinion on whats messed up. A shop or some friends with simple know how should be able to help you out.

 

^^^^ thanx for the info

 

ok i got most f the bent parts out, now the whole thing is nice and loose again, now i just need the new parts and take off the other side of the front sway bar.

 

ok i pulled the whole control arm out, man that **** is bent, i found out that the sway bar isnt bent, i thought it was but i compared both sides and they are the same shape. so i guess all i need is that control arm and im good. took a while to pop out the last part of it, but my manliness got it out lol

 

good ____. about time you did it. if u need help with anything LMK. just finished this weekend tearing up my entiore suspension. much harder then my old ferio but oh well. good luck on getting it done asap!

quick on the end lnks.. make sure to jack up the assembly to put load on the suspension. this will help getting that stupid endlink off. then jack down to finish the job. something i see alot of people and directions seem to leave out in these DIY's

 

wat end inks?? are you talking about your new suspension installation?

 

for your next set of tires you should take a look at at falken st-115 tires.

 

for sure im gonna get better tires. right now im trying to figure out on how much the control arm might cost. i called the dealership and they said $187. Im gonna call the junk yard soon and ask them how much they charge since they have a few scions there

 

heyyyy what junkyard did you call and they said they had a few scions there??? please you musttttt tell me lol.

and the endlinks are the silver sticks which connect the swaybar to the arm.

 

well my friend andrew told me the address but i forgot it. he comes to the meets, hes the one with the flint mica and getting a kiminari kit on. i will call him soon and check the adress again lol. the endlinks are str8, i made sure of it

 

grrrr i just called one of the junk yards and they said if i want the control arm id have to buy the whole suspension with it, so their price is $350, id rather buy a new control arm from the dealership which i think i might just do.

 

oo looks like you had a lil boo boo yourself !

 

hey guys, i think i might buy the control arm today from the dealership, is there any tips you guys would like to suggest when i install this thing back into the car? like am i supposed to wd40 n e thing? or do something?

 

have a breaker bar handy, an extra jack, hammer in case the bolts are shot so u can hammer it out with a metal pin, penetrating lub.. thats about it... i doubt you will need all that. breaker bar and some penetrating lube would probably be best.

if u need help LMK.

also the guy who getting the kit he is the one who was auto asking me about boost a few weeks back i think. whats his name on here? or his name in general so i know next time i see him to give him info on a new auto boost kit i found. and tell him to give you the address already lol.. i need a front lip!!

 

lmao his name is andrew and on here he is miamibusta69. the lube i guess i can buy from autozone, but wats a breaker bar?

 

believe me i feel for you.. accidents suck...

but kumho's are not as bad as you say. primarily for
price reasons, i've purchased more kumho's than any
other tire brand, and they've served me well.

but for your car to actually 'jump onto the other lanes, spin,
and jump back into some other lanes,' seems like you were goin a little beyond safe speeds to maintain control of
your car. as i am in florida, and it's been raining...

high speeds + turn off freeway + wet road= not good

 

lol i could swear to you as many times as you guys want but i was not going fast. you can even ask miamibusta because he was infront of me. I was the slow one from the group. the floor could have been wet but i was too scared to know what to do but to look only at my car.

 

wasnt wet........crappy tires and a jerk of the steering wheel from one side to the other to get that lil bit of momentum .. even though you might not of noticed it.... also you said you hit the brakes into the turn correct me if im wrong but the front brakes apply more pressure which would definitly cause the back to slide under a hard turn well thats what i think..

I never hit the brakes into a turn no matter how fast im going . but then again ive never felt the back come loose the whole car just stays straight and slides a lil bit...

idn ala but id find a big lot and play with your car when your get new tires like i did to c what your car can handle!!!!!!!
