well first off, i guess my brother was driving and someone cut him off causing him to spin out and smash into a curb, well atleast from what he tells me, but we all know its probably bullshit. he drove the car home because i didnt feel like paying a tow truck out the ass, plus my car is super low, so he gets the car home, and i see he cracked the rim and it points inward at the bottom making it look like it has crazy ass positive camber. i took the wheel off and saw that the LCA was bent to shit, so i replaced it, we then took it for a test drive and right down the street it started making a bad clunking sound like the wheel was about to fall off, but its not the wheel, i just put new 5zigens on the rear, and it was also wobbly.

ive included some pictures because i have taken it apart again and im noticing that the whole knuckle and everything looks as if it has shifted forward some. i need some opinions please on what the problem could still be because im not about to dish out a ton of money on parts without finding the source.

i am not a genius when it comes to suspension so please dont flame me for this, just trying to get my shit fixed.

thank you





and it looks like the axle isnt lined up very well either, maybe that was the clunking? it is a welded diff too.


and the infamous control arm

 

looks like you sub fame might have gotten twisted in the action...what ever it was. Perhaps its just the arms. If you take them off you'll see that its scary how flimsy they seem. I'd try getting a different set of arms for it and see if that helps. Maybe your welded diff broke. You can find arms on here pretty cheap. Worth a shot.

i sure as heck hope its not the subframe. the bad thing is i live in tallahassee now and its hard as shit to find parts around here.

 

ebay?? gettem shipped to ya...cheaper than driving i bet.

 

i have an entire S14 subframe with axles and all... lmk...

 

I've got axles too. Yours are fucked.

 

its not an s14 though its a 13 just 5 lug. both axles? im just wondering if the diff is fucked. but what else is messed up on it? im about to just order godspeed traction and toe arms and say fuck it.

 

Axles are the same as long as they are 6 bolt.

 

yeah there 6 bolt but if the subframe and arms are fucked up theres no point in replacing it yet if its still bent to shit

 

No one else notice that the bushings in the knuckle are torn up? That would cause a lot of clunking and shit I imagine.
