Test?

[Melon]

Glad you're ok man, a wheel falling off is no joke.

[Sonny]

What kind of tests can I do to see what damage I’ve gotten? No more than 20mph wheel came off and oil pan wasn’t touched. Control arm inner tie rod where hit hard which I hope didn’t cause damage to the subframe as I just spent an hour bolting that exact bolt above it.

Take the ball joint back out of the hole make sure both the hole and tapered balljoint shaft are clean and dry. Re install.

If you managed to damage the threads on the way in, that can also make it more difficult to stop the spinning. You can repair the threads with a thread file if that is the case.

I’m so heartbroken, car just needs to be tightened up and I can’t do it. Can I I need to order a lock nut instead? The nut just keeps spinning and the inside of it seems like it’s being pushing out, the part that it’s suppose to cut and lock into, I think my problem was trying to tighten it without pushing from the bottom and the car still in the air?, could I have threaded a screw? Should I try a new bolt before taking off the whole control arm again?

Its more relevant here than in the nonsense thread.

Hey so I have an issue, car is on ground but my lock nut on passenger side won’t stop turning even with a jack putting pressure underneath as the driver side never needed anything and bolted right up. It is number 5 on the diagram. Thank you!

Not really something that was specifically part of my build lol, it’s fixed already

Engine work takes patience and finesse.

Suspension work takes anger, a big fucking hammer, and a torch.

so true!

If you're not cursing, something is wrong

Holy shit I just looked at my cat and it’s been installed in reverse since I’ve had it.

:/

[Powling]

Sorry I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion if it adds real caster or if it’s not noticeable and to what degree I’m currently at 3.5
Stock m3 is +7.5

Am I an idiot for passing perfectly good centered web bushings?

This is the lifesaver. Go buy it.


Are you boots destroyed? Or is there another reason you’re changing the tie-rods?

The tie rods hold no tension or resistance and drop straight down Plus they came with that OEM suspension refresh kit
