hello

I had a lil dumb accident about a month ago and I bent the tie rod and something else but i cant figure what it is.

i alrdy replaed the tie rod and alligned the wheels but you can still tell its bent somehow.

its not like / but just like | this thats the angle it has. its the rear on the driver side.

I'm gonna take pics soon and post em, but i was just starting the post to see if anyone sparked and told me what it is right off the bat.

anyway, whod be so lucky.

tthanks!

It's probably the lower control arm being bent up since if you curbed the car, that arm gets to see the brunt of the force.

Have you checked the rim/wheel itself to see if it's bent?

This wouldn't be from driftin eh?

the rim got ****ed up, and it looked so bad you coulnt drive the car anymore.from the bent angle i mean.

and yes, its from drifting, i was distracted for a sec and did it in the wrong place.it wasnt cuz of no-skills or not good enough skills, but just cuz i got distracted.
