OnAhigh Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Hey guys yes i did search but i thought someone might point me the right direction. Well to cut the story short i had a date with a kerb last night after loosing control in the wet (no flamming please). Now im not very familiar with suspension components and such but both passenger sides hit the curb, back wheel is buckled and looks like the control arms, joints even shockings are out of whack. Any one reccommend a supspension joint or even workshop/mechanic in the know about these things so i can get a quote of repairs and see if its worth going through insurance. or if the damage is worse than it looks. Got a day off tommorow so would like to get it out of the way then. quick pic i managed to get dont know if you can make much of it cheers Edited April 14, 2007 by OnAhigh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158137-recommended-suspension-place-workshop-4-major-service-preferably-liverpoolfairfield-way/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffworld2 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 jack it up and have a look, it may show as a slight fattening of the rail, as it was squished a bit. If you think its only out the tiniest bit and you cant see it, then its probably not out. You should be able to see any damage on the rail. If your reo bar at the front is gone you are more likely to have a bit of warping after an accident if your car is crabbing, check that it had a 4 wheel alignment if its hicas equipped, this is common to a few r32's ive seen. get a lock bar to fix the rear settings permanently or make sure there are no leaks in the system if you want to keep it, as low fluid makes it do wierd things too even at low speeds.

Got four wheel alignment today, rear is pushed back slightly, front was out by 4mm they did the best to fix it. back and front tire werent on properly. he said if i get front castor rods that will help to adjust the front. Well after driving it today i can say it is 10times better thats for sure. But i still havent been on the hume highway cause that road is screwed and where it happened most Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158137-recommended-suspension-place-workshop-4-major-service-preferably-liverpoolfairfield-way/#findComment-3049670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
