Well, looks like my frustration with my car lately has gotten the better of me. No less than 15min after I put up a for sale sign in my passenger side rear quarter window, One of those sneaky curbs jumps out at me while loosing traction.

Lessons learned? Bald tires are bad when trying to make a hard left out of a parking lot. Especially when the road it crowned and you have tight suspension. LOL.

It looks like I got lucky and the only thing I hurt (besides the lip of my rim) is my lower rear control arm! ALMOST DIRECTLY BELOW THE FOR SALE SIGN! (Think my car is trying to tell me something)

I digress.

Question:How similar is the rear suspension between s13 and s14's? I'm sure it'll be easier to find the control arm at a junkyard if I broaden my year requirements.

-Hope the whole "Nissan Parts Bin" methodology works in my favor.
