Stupid me
 
So I was meaning to rotate my tires this weekend, but with my luck, it wasnt soon enough. I was driving this morning, and going around a corner, i lost all traction on the front side of things, and the understeer took me straight into the turn. I have no damage to the body, but my front Driver side wheel is effed up. You can see the positive camber by simply looking at it. I'm taking it to my friends house after school (He has a full lift in his garage) to figure out what i need to fix. I would post pictures, but i dont have my camera with me at school. Ill try to get some up asap. Any input to my stupidity would be greatly appreciated. :hithead:

So from what I saw, and opinions I got, it seems like its the lower control arm that got bent. Now i need to find one at a decent price. Does anybody have the part number for it?

I ended up getting the Ebay ones. I budgeted to get my alignment done with all of this. I also plan on getting 4 new tires within the next 2 weeks.

Re: Stupid me
 
get new tires FIRST.

then do the alignment.

(well, replace ur LCA first before you get tires)

Wait, wait, wait! Metered internet!? WTF!? That is F'ed up, I've only heard of metered internet on mobile devices.

Re: Stupid me
 
It's in Canada too.. well... truth is we have always had metered internet because we were limited (in my area) to 30 gigs/month.. now they have gone CRAZY with it limiting us much more unless you pay for a higher subscription... its all stupid B.S... all I know is our prices went up like 100% in my area for the same service you had before metered ... they never metered it they just jacked their prices... I can vent forever im pissed right off
