I replaced the knuckle, shock and stabilizer bar. Had a 4 wheel alignment since then

Me smoking the curb happened about a year ago. I had an alignment done and they said something was bent still. They said it was 1 degree off. I’ve went about 9,000 miles since then and the opposite rear tire is wearing not the one that had the broken knuckle.

Yep, inspect everything under the vehicle including the differential, rims/tires (one pictured under the vehicle looks trashed/cracked but might not be for the G), etc. The force of the impact can damage a lot of stuff not at the point of impact.

You can use flourescent dye and soak various components that might be broken, let them dry and inspect in a dark room with a black light, cracks will be obvious, or just replace everything if you can find a donor for cheap.

The trailing arm is slightly bent which I have just didn’t replace because the way the body is made it seems like you’d have to cut out a small section to get the bolt out or drop the whole sub-frame which is retarded. I just cleared my knock sensor code and drove around for about a hour and it’s back. Along with C1105. On 2 different scanners this says LR ABS sensor 2 but on the net it says RR. And the wheels were already scraped up but did get scraped worse. I’m not too worried about it. I have a convertible Z in mind for a very nice price and with less miles than my G had when I bought it. About 20k less miles. Just needs some body work done to the rear bumper cover.
