Wtb 32Gtr Rear Suspension Assembly

[Thelen]

So I somehow managed to hit the curb on a turn I take at least 10x a week, long story short is probably need a full set of rear suspension gear. I hit on the back right, but it has also bent things on the back left. Kframe is bent on the right, the upper rod is actually ripped out of it, and few other smaller rods seem bent. Doesn't look like any body damaged but could be a little warping hopefully not.

Anyway, looking at wreckers and so on, but ....

Help!

location might help you, im in sydney and have the whole lot ( I think ) including rack

[Thelen]

melbourne. found something at a wreckers, so its all good for now. might need extra parts though if the replacement is damaged in any way.

basically the whole frame needs replacing as well, the upper tie rod ripped out lol. and the left side is totally bent on the lower arm.

anyway, we'll see when they put it all back together if i need anything more..

fk dude, how hard did you hit it?! must have had some serious pace on.

[Thelen]

Was doing 60kmh on main st, slowed to take corner. So 30-40kmh probably.

Yea I was a complete idiot, it was dark normally I have high beam on (which still sucks lol), but I didn't and was complacent. Expensive $1700 lesson heh.

well shit happens. i guess it was a miscalculation (so not like you lost control and the braked before hitting it) so you would have hit it pretty hard. everyone makes mistakes now and then, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you dont.

[Thelen]

Yep. Well apparently the struts weren't included, and given hte right one is bent will probably have to get new ones, unless someone has a 2nd hand set lying around?

[Thelen]

I need shocks too, should i just replace with standard or go coilovers? i don't think the difference in price vs the labour of doing it (which i want to do in like 5 months) is worth it really?

[Thelen]

ok seems all ok, haven't gone over 60kmh yet so we'll see. apparently the bearing is now a little noisy, but maybe it was like that before (exhaust + music >_> )...

anyway, got a bunch of spares now, so thats handy

last questions, they replaced both rear struts with what was there before (basically stocks i think), is it worth doing teh fronts any time soon, or getting coilovers then selling em?

oh, and where do i get spare wheels from <_<
