guys i need some help please. suspension questions
well first off, i guess my brother was driving and someone cut him off causing him to spin out and smash into a curb, well atleast from what he tells me, but we all know its probably bullshit. he drove the car home because i didnt feel like paying a tow truck out the ass, plus my car is super low, so he gets the car home, and i see he cracked the rim and it points inward at the bottom making it look like it has crazy ass positive camber. i took the wheel off and saw that the LCA was bent to shit, so i replaced it, we then took it for a test drive and right down the street it started making a bad clunking sound like the wheel was about to fall off, but its not the wheel, i just put new 5zigens on the rear, and it was also wobbly.
ive included some pictures because i have taken it apart again and im noticing that the whole knuckle and everything looks as if it has shifted forward some. i need some opinions please on what the problem could still be because im not about to dish out a ton of money on parts without finding the source.
i am not a genius when it comes to suspension so please dont flame me for this, just trying to get my shit fixed.
thank you
the infamous control arm.
also when i put the new control arm on, i test drove the car and there was a clunking noise like the wheel was about to fall off or the axle was going crazy or something that was very noticable and sounded very unsafe, i also noticed that the new 5 zigen wheel i put on was wobbly.
please someone im just trying to get this fixed so i can start working on bigger things but i need this to be on the road first, someone please with knowledge chime in and help me out.
thanks in advance.
