Damage. Need HELP!

[red95_240sx]

do those camber bolts give about an inch or maybe a half inch in movement?

Don't fix it w/camber bolts ... replace the damaged part(s) and align it.

If you're unwilling to post pictures, quit asking for advice and let a mechanic scope it out.

camber is off

its found i bent the strut and a Iylar? arm

 

[red95_240sx]

the struts wer blown, and they said something about somekinda arm. im not sure if it corrected the camber angle, but its better.

If camber was affected, then it was the control arm.

the wheel did go in a bit. ill try lining up the dotted mark on top the upper strut mounts. there in different spots.

hhmmmm...these guys cant even spell mazda right.(scratch) Mazad

Bump.

Moved to suspension sub-forum!

I hava nother problem I think its my wheel bearings. The story is when im driving through the city, i think i can hear them humming, not non stop, but its separated. When im on the interstate i can feel the car pull to one side mostly over humps or bumps, and the alignment seems to change like something is loose, which is really scary.

Today it was wet out, and i was on my way down the interstate, and the same thing happened, but im guessing since it was wet, the wheels were actually locking up, and the car was pulling to the side a bit worse. I didnt turn the radio down in time enough to hear anything.

A moving camber bolt is also suspect, but it doesnt seem too be loose.

Im gonna send it to a shop sometime this week.

 

[red95_240sx]

anyone?

 

[red95_240sx]

that problem was a loose sway bar.

Now any ideas why my alignments dont last so long?

 

[red95_240sx]

bump. Control arm/bushings or tie rods or???
