Well I fixed one problem now that the p/s is great. CAR: 1990 skyline GTSDuring some rough cornering I heard some rubbing on the right wheel well.

I got out and noticed that the right tire is now about 1.5" pushed back and about .5" from the wheel well and when the steering wheel is straight the car is turning left!! This might have been a problem from before that I just now noticed but not likely.

From what I can c anything broken im going to take off the tire and take a closer look tommorow. ?In the meantime anyone have an idea what I might have bent or broke??And where I can find some parts?? Will the front suspension parts off a 300zx be compatible??

Lower control arm would be my first guess, The tension rod could also push the control arm out of place if it took a good hit. The Tension rods are compatible with R32, Z32, and the S13, still you should see the problem once the wheel is off for sure.

No I don't think the lca's from R32 skylines are the same as other models, Check to see if an of our sponsors have any parts for skylines first but if not this place may be able to help you http://www.rockymountainimport...elect
