Suspension help here guys, Mad Off Set
hey guys, What a freaking day!!! I ran and hit a curb on my driver side. No, Im not drunk. Prob about 40 mph hit the curb though.

My wheel was not crack, but enough to blew out the front tire. I put on the spare and it looks bad. It looks like -camber and off set. I meant the top portion goes in while the bottom of the tire goes out.

Do I need a new control arm, tire rod, any thing else replaced?

Probably a tie rod end, maybe a control arm. Hopefully not that whole dr front suspension!

My guess is some shit is gonna be messed up,
-Tie rod inner and outer : very good chance of both
-Control arm : very likely
- Ball joint : good chance but you get lucky
- Wheel bearing : I would give it about a year or so of daily driving
- Wheel : It might be bent even though it looks good.

Sounds like you just got cooler. Paint your wheels pink and show up to a 240sx meet.

Damn, talk about depress, hopefully no subframe damage.

I figured the control will be the first thing to go.

I would replace this stuff ^^ but the damage could be worse. 40 MPH is really fast to hit a curb.

I did this once, I bent the shock. Check the shocks, look very closely only takes a very light bend on the shock to make negative camber. Also check control arms and tie rod ends.
