my curb damage

[doriboys14]

here is the equations class
drift + gravel=understeer
understeer+40mph=scary
scary+curb=O Sh!t
O Sh!t+THUD= Bent parts

that was the tie rod , this is the control arm...

[CleanS14]

Yeah... stop playing with curbs!!! hahaha

Tie rods are like the weakest link on an s14... I've bent 3 on my most recent s14.

[doriboys14]

but thoes curbs are so cut and cuddly...and they seem to just suck my car in...

[SilviaLove]

Meet Mr. Metal Rod..he means business!

[REVLIMIT]

Man thats one reason why I love my Camaro. That thing is a tank! haha...I've hit a whole lotta curbs and what not when I was starting out. But I wasnt able to bend any suspension or steering parts O_o Though I did blow a few tires and scratched up my rims.

[doriboys14]

yes.. i have met Mr. Metal Rod... and he is wise and powerful beyond his time.... one must not underestimate the power of the metal rods... show respect to all light poles, stop signs, and parking signs... lol..ok im done

if u damage your car like this? means u bent the frame?

is it worth it to repair it back?

[SilverGhost]

i thwacked a curb in my s13, and really jacked up my steering, but my frame is straight as an arrow....

[DRFT_DREAM]

how do u know if it is straight as an arrow?

[doriboys14]

ok.. no you probaly didnt bend your frame.., thats alot of body pannels and underbody pannels..but the frame is deeper there...i doubt you bent it... really doubt..and sliver... did u check to see if you bent anything.... thats probaly what it is..your tie rod or LCA

[DriftLanta]

they dont have a frame it is a unibody car the whole body is the frame

[S13_Steve]
