I have to take pictures to get this one across. Its that weird and bad. BTW, its not my oil pan. I raised my suspension up because my subframe pushed back and bent over its self.

 

[joka1]

?? Awaiting pics........ I might have asked b4 but what part of WA are u from? Did u bend something suspension wise or was it a motor issue?

 

[Protege03ak46]

Im near lynnwood, Brier specifically. Yeah, its suspension.

 

[joka1]

Man we need to meet up........ I'm less than 45 minutes north of you, u going to any big shows this season?

[KauaiMP5]

u bent your suspension?

 

[Protege03ak46]

^ bingo. I was taking a freeway exit, one of those long sweeping ones. I was going around 70 and I hit a huge bump twords the end. The force was so great that it caused the bolt that holds the strut in to the top hat to strip. Then the strut came out and my wheel camberd out to atleast 10 degrees. I knew something happend cause my wheel jerked and completely changed my alignment. The strut sat on my spring and the whole wieght of the front left corner caused
The strut to bend. I towed it to my favorite shop and there gonna look at it tomorrow.
