Looks like a tension arm bushing problem.

[Greenblurr93]

Agreed, looks like a bushing issue

Ya know how that can be fix?? And the cost??

I would move the link away from facebook so you can get everyone to look at it first... Contrary to popular belief, not everyone has an account with them.

I think some of my brain cells died when I read the comments on the link.

But yes, definitely check the tension control bushings, if you see thick fluid coming out of it, they will need to be replaced.

I fixed the picture link.

Does the other side look normal?

Yea the other said is normal. Just that one side.

A bent LCA can cause a radical caster change too.

[Dattebayo]

Yeah, that could be a lot of things. Have you been in an accident recently like hitting a curb or running over anything large lately?

No i havnt been but maybe the guy that i bought the car from did.

[Dattebayo]

So you bought it that way?

[Jonnyk300zx]

So you bought it that way?

Yea. So i have no idea whats wrong with it but imma try and replace the lca and see what happens

[Dattebayo]

Well why don't you look at it first and intelligently decide what's wrong with it before throwing parts at the problem? You know, kinda like a mechanic does?

Just trying to walk you through the logic here...

I mean its hard to say. Everything looks fine until i put my rims on.

Measure the length of tension control rods on each side and check if there is a difference? Measure from the center of the front bolt that is connected to the bracket to the middle of the two bolts where it mounts on the LCA.

If there isn't, the bracket for the tension control rod is bent and/or broken.

If there is a difference, the rod or the bushings will need to be replaced.

Also take off both LCA's and compare them...

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yeah you should be able to look at the parts in there to see if something is bent/shifted/blown.

[Greenblurr93]

If everything looks normal while wheel is off and suspension unloaded. then shifts once it has the cars weight on it, i would lean toward bushings.
