So this morning i get up at around 9 after staying up till 4 with the lady friend and i leave the house at around 9:30 and have to be to work at 10 so i was doin a little over the speed limit. Not even 5 minutes from the house all this happened
Coming around a corner, it was lightly raining and the front passenger tire started sliding and i couldn't do anything.. Not to much damage...a lot of scratches and mud. still havent looked at it to much but i know it's gonna take some work. Making for a bad sunday and a day missed of work |

Ouch! Sorry to see that man. Hopefully it won't be too much work/money to make it right.

At least you weren't hurt. Doesn't look too bad either.
Yesterday I did a 180 on an off ramp! Like you, I was going a little faster than conditions allowed and the rear end came right out from under me. I steered into it and she just spun around. Luckily no one else was on the ramp and no cops were around!  _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

| Woah. Dman dude. What did it end up biting, just the ditch, or was there anything that would knock the front wheel or A-arm around? |

So i swapped all the rims and tires off my other camaro that i guess im ussing as a parts car for now and some of my problems are gone. Im gonna need to replace both sets of a-arms and i think i might've bent the rear axle. Anything above 40 the right rear of my car starts to shake a little bit and at higher speeds it gets a little worse. Im gonna replace the a-arms then take it in and have the alignment done and get the tire's balanced and see how it does then.
If nothing else im lookin for parts: 89-92 nose, i want 91-92 gfx or anything like the gfx i have now, passenger fender, i think i might need a new flap thing under the radiator..dont know the technical name of it, just know it helps push air into the radiator |
