HELP! Need help identifying suspension parts

[mopiko]

Bent trailing link

I spun out this past winter duirng a snow storm, but it's not until recently that I've notice my alignment is off... so I check all the wheels... look straight, but upon detail examination yesterday on my passenger side rear suspension....

Looks like if I bounce it couple more times it'll snap... so what is that part called? Lower control arm? If anyone can identify this part I'd be grateful so I can go to the parts store and get it asap... thanks in advance

bump. cuz need help ASAP...

I think that's the trailing link.

 

[mopiko]

Thanks Mike R, anyone else ? Just want to get some confirm.

That is your trailing link. AWR racing sells an upgrade (www.awrracing.com).

Peace...(hippy)

That's what I was gonna say.

 

[mopiko]

NICE! Thanks everyone! So let me ask you guys this... (I know nothing) what's the benefit of having a upgraded trailing link alone? Since if I go purchase these I'll be installed these alone without anything else...

HOly crap, that doesn't look good.

For the record, lower control arms will always be perpendicular to the direction the car travels.

 

[mopiko]

Yeah, I agree, thanks for the info about the control arm. Hehe feels like a noob now for not knowing that...

And I ordered the AWR trailing links and should be in Wednesday. I think their tube steel construction could prove to be much stronger than the C steel it originally has.

Damn!!! Be careful the next few days...

 

[mopiko]

Yeah, and it's going to T-storm in Jersey too... yukes... I hope you won't spot a silver P5 on the shoulder missing a wheel or something...

Damn!!! Be careful the next few days...

Everyone's gotta learn somehow

How the hell did you do that, by the way?

I think this will explain very clearly...

 

[Green01LX]

That explains it to me lol. bad deal on the spin out and the messed up car man

 

[CRDMS1]

I think this will explain very clearly...

Whoa (wow) (wow)

I'd say that pretty much tells the whole story.

Peace...(hippy)

 

[mopiko]

That's what you'll get if you want to be as cheap as me as to not getting the snow tires... xP

Benefit? You'll be able to ride more walls without cracking it again.
