Lost it around a corner... drivers side front and rear got up on the curb (square curb, quite large (yes im a dumbass))...

my alignment is totally whacked now (obviously) car veers HARD left on its own... so far i know this:

- both drivers side rims are toast (aftermarket here i come)
- front bumper is totally toast (kuruma here i come)
- drivers side wheel well is totally ripped out (sitting in my trunk)
- plastic guard that protects under side of car is holding on by 1 clip
- drivers side fender is bent

what can i expect to replace as far as steering components/stuff i cant see? I havent had a chance to get the car up with the wheel off yet to get a real good look.

ouchy area, have you had it looked at by a skilled mechanic? could have harmed the frame and possibly engine pins, hope everything works out well for your g, accidents happen.

 

You shoulda known these cars are tail happy, you cant be mashing it around a corner homie... I say you take it to an independent shop ( DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO INFINITI) and have it inspected. You could possibly have a cracked control arm causing your hard pull to the left.

you might want to invest in a driving course class.

 

I don't find they are tail happy (oversteer) at all. They actually push (understeer) more than most unless you're comparing to FWD.

 

I jumped a curb in mine and it screwed it up pretty badly. It will be different for every car. Just take it to a very skilled mechanic that you trust to have it looked at.

 

A good pothole or curb hitting adventure will definitely change the alignment.
Tie rods are like toothpicks. But that hard definitely deserves a good inspection.

 

Inner an outter tie rods, axel, bent or dented oil pan, cats, O2 sensors, wheels.

 

Man that sucks dude gl with the repairs.

 

Ummm...in 2nd gear at WOT, this car will easily, easily kick its a.ss out around a corner, especially on worn tires.

 

similar crap happened to me back in the stupid days, but i was lucky. Mine was just alignment problem. I felt dumb when it happened though.

 

Been there, done that.... hahahaha Live and learn. I'm thinking about going to the skip barber driving school!

 

Yes and so will a lot of cars driven like that. That's not indicative in itself of being "tail happy".

The car has a nature of understeer.

 

^ i agree. The most hated part by me when it was stock.

 

I've got mine lowered on Z springs, dspecs and stillens f+r. It takes work to make it oversteer.
