So I hit a curb bad. front left tire took most the damage, back swung out and rear tire took a little hit. now I am trying to repair. somehow no body damage. Need a new coil over(tokico) new control arm, and new steering control arm...hopefully thats it for the Front Left side. Look like just one part..the lower control arm...was bent a little. Its a 97 240sx LE, so on to what I needed help with...-I need a picture like an exploded graph of the suspension system with hopefully part#'s... and I think it may be best to look for these used on the forum, because money is tight. Also I am sure a nissan mechanical book would have graphs and part#'s but the only thing i could find was the chilton manual...and I heard it wasnt that useful for 240s...so any help pleaseeeee. thanks

Use the FSM... its listed all parts with pictures... I was in the same spot several months back... hit a curb and bend the front passenger lower control arm and inner tie rod.

I got the parts from Powerline (they often sell used parts here) and for around $100 shipped and several hours of work I was able to fix everything.

Also I assume you mean tierod when you say "steering control arm"

Your tension rod might be broken too. Mine didnt have any damage from what I could see (didnt break) but according to the alignment shop it was causing a problem. I bought some SPL V2 tension rods and that was fixed.

Hope the attached picture helps...

Good luck bro
