lol. hey tcpete, this control arm is kill me, ive been tryin to install it but the hole for the main part wont align so that i could put bolt in man this sux, i just got the new arm and i thought it would be easy to get in

 

have pics?? how can it not align?? inspect the bolt to see if its bent also.

 

ok i got everything in and i put everything back. now when i turn the car on, i noticed the ABS sign is on and the little squiggly circle with the exclamation mark in the middle was flashing. ok so i start my car and i start driving, but my steering wheel feels so loose and i have to turn it to the side to make the car go straight, plus when i make a turn it sounds as if im drifting. wat do i do? i kno for sure i need a wheel alignment but is that the only problem???? i never seen the ABS sign before, what do i do with that?

heres the video of it i just did, i kno i sound stupid but come on, i just finished installing this thing and im tired as hell, lol

pllzzz telll me wats wrong

 

saw the vid bro.. U NEED TO ALIGN THAT WHEEL lol

 

man i just went to the body shop that aligns wheels, and they were like they cant align it because my inner tie rod is bent, lol they made me see both sides of the car and damn it is bent they said once i get that fixed my car will drive alot better

 

thst what i figured also what it was. the tie rod should be pretty cheap and easy to replace.

 

i called toyota and they said $145, is that too much $???

 

thats fine hurry up and fix your car. so u can do my cluster! weee lol..

 

i knew i never liked kuhmos for some reason sorry it happened man new rim is a definate

 

ouch!!

 

updates homie??? hows everything going.??

 

lol im gonna wait till i get back from my trip, i leave this thursday and come back around august 8 so i will fix my car when i get back

 

hey guys, by n e chance do u guys know how i can replace the inner tie rod???????

 

Your tires went stupid on you? Shouldn't that read, "I was stupid", "I have poor judgement", "but I'm ok and I learned from my mistake".

If I could blame other people on all the stupid things I've done I wouldn't get anywhere in life. You have to just suck it up and move on. Yeah it sucks but if you don't you'll just keep making the same mistakes. The first thing you should invest in after you fix your car is some time autocrossing with a good teacher, you'll find out you don't know what driving is compared to some of those guys.

The good thing is it's only money and it's only a car. It could have been worse, you could have gotten hurt, hurt someone else, or worse of all gotten a girl pregnant.

Peace.

 

What kind of kumho ecsta's? There are 711, 712, ASX, and I think one more.

I have the 711's and have never had any similar problems, they grip pretty well.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hit a curb with mine about 5 months ago and bent a lower control arm, it sucked.

 

that sucks. i had something similar like that happen to me...
$7k plus in damages.

 

hey looser i told you it wasnt my fault, u werent there so dont try and blame this all on my driving, i told u did not speed and sticking to that. i think it was raining earlier that day so it might of been from that, im good at driving, its not hard to control a car, but dont try and put this accident as if i did it on purpose.

DoubleJ16 i think they are 711's, i agree they do grip pretty good on dry floors, but have u noticed how bad it is in water??

Jimmy, man that sucks to pay$7k on all the damages, did they tell you what was wrong with your car?? cuz so far all i need to spend is $400 and im good

 

Yeah, I agree they don't hook up too well in the rain. Maybe just slightly better then the stock bridgestones which make you feel like you're driving on ice when it rains. Those crappy stock tires got me into a habbit of driving insanely slow in the rain.

 

either way, even if u dont spend much on the body, your rim is screwed man, you are most probably gonna want to replace that or your car will shake back and forth while u drive
