I hit something on the freeway and it f***ed something up not really sure what it is but wheel and tire are f***ed. Here's 2 pics of what the damage is. Sorry if its a n00b question. need to know what to do without going to an auto shop and spending $$$.

Holy $^%! You need to hit a salvage yard and get a Lower control arm, and strut rod for sure. Can't see everything from your pics, but possibly a sway bar link, and outer tie rod(NEW) as well.

[240sxs13cuh]

Thanx man.

any idea where can get reasonably priced new outer tie rods?

Shudda got a hemi

The Tension rods are an easy fix around 170 for parts

I got my rods from Projectnissanhttp://projectnissan.com/shopp...y=161

The tension rod write up for a S14 but its the same for a S13http://www.nicoclub.com/archiv....html

For you Tie Rod installhttp://www.nicoclub.com/archiv....html

And by the way you looked like it broke off you may need to just replace the whole thing.

Tein ones run around 155 or so.http://www.240sxmotoring.com/tetieros1.html

Yeah, you need -

Lower control armTension rodand a strut

I would get a new LCA, and some aftermarket tension (adjustable). I would also replace those origional sway bar end links and inner and outer tie rods while your at it. Followed by an allignment.

[240sxs13cuh]

i just bought tein tie rods, and circuit sports tensions rods, and apexi front strut bar.

would it effect me in any way if i put a used LCA?

[1SickSilvia]

wow, what did you hit anyways? Is it like that on both sides or just one? Like the others sugested, get those parts and an allignment after you get those installed.

i was on the freeway and there was an accident and some kind of metal $hit from the accident (im guessing) was in my lane and before i could have braked and got out the way it found its way in my wheel well and just went to town on all my $hit.
