for one please try to spell correctly as it is going to be hard to understand what you are talking about. and 2 dont be drifting on public roads. keep it on the track before you kill someone.

I can't really spell I am sorry! But I would never drift on a street. I was doing it at my work parking lot. which is very big. I mean very big. there is no one there other then me so I know I would not endanger anyone else! Other then my baby (my S13) and my self!

But here is what I am trying to say. Maybe if I cut the story, it might be easier to understand.

I was drifting at my work parking lot. Since NO ONE THERE OTHER THEN MY SELF. I drift and try to learn better skill. Anyway While I was drifting, By accident I lost it and was going to fast. So I slam my car going? speed. I know not more then 15MPH. Head on but with my steering wheel turn (which made my front tire hit side ways to the side walk) Which broke a rod. here is what I am trying to found out. Which rod is it? It is the rod that is connect from the front fame to the front wheel suspension.

P.S Like I say before, I will never drift or do anything to endanger anyone else on the street or where ever i go. And I am 22 so please don't think I am just another ricer teen.:ylsuper

sounds good to me. theres enough idiots you never know. i would suggest just wait till morning go outside and take a look. the tie rod connects your wheel to your steering. the way you say the wheel hit the sidewalk it sounds alot worse than it may be. but like i said take a look in the morning and then type up in the forum or take a pic of what you saw.

get a chilton's/haynes manual for your car, it should have an exploded view of your suspension (all the parts separated and pictured). You can use that as a reference and figure out what was damaged. Tension control rod is a definite candidate though, maybe other stuff as well.

sounds like you sheared off the tension rod at the lower control arm. you have most likely bent the lower control arm,broke your tension rod,and quite possibly bent your strut and rim.

should I take my car to a dealer? Since the dealer is down the street from my work or where the car is seating! I can't drive the car because soon as I drive it the wheel is push back to the fenderwell. I look at it and that is all i see broken! Is the rod that connect from the front of the car to the front wheel suspenion. Your can see the rod if your turn the wheel to the right. It's on the right wheel.

WOW:eek: how much would this all cost me?

you can take it to the dealer but if structural damage has occured you may be reffered to a body shop. if your gonna replace the rods and continue to "drift" I recommend you upgrade to a more stout tension rod . not the factory ones since they are not constructed for that kind of driving. how much it will cost depends on what is damaged.
