Look at the pass. side front wheel! Can you guess the problem haha.?




Basically I blew a front tire, ran into a massive curb destroying the Chrome Zr1's I used to have. So I bought all new wheels and tires (Chrome Z06's w/ MT ET STREETS) and when I got the pass. side wheel on it was obvious something was out of wack.

So I finally got it towed to the shop and after a look I need the following.....

Right upper control arm
steering knuckle
spindle & hub assembly
Right outer tie rod

Seems the spending never stops!.....Looking at a $40 tow...$120 labor....$? parts and $800 worth of wheels and tires....god thats a damn top end build

Damn that blows..looks like the bottom of the fender is kicked out too. Should be able to bend it back..down below where it bolts up. Sounds like my luck..its always something else too

Lol

Remember me telling you that there was probably a LOT damaged and you assured me that your "body guy" had told you it would pull out just fine

^ Yeah actually I do remember you saying that. And the first guys I took it too wanted me to go ahead and use heat to bend things back to place....makes me think twice about ever buying a rebuilder haha. So I went to another shop and am picking up the parts new to get it done correctly. The fender is already fixed...never came unbolted in the first place. O....and 90% of the people who guessed the problem last time were incorrect...the rack and pin was fine and really the upper control arm isnt tweaked much but I didnt want any weak points. Could of got away with a tie rod end and spindle if I went on the cheap.....but I like perfection.

Also had time to do the VHT on the tails and the 3rd brakelight as well as the side markers...front corners and whisler mod is next as well as the side molding removal....I love the way its coming together...keeping those miles down haha only 32,000 miles!!!!

I was only going 35 in a school zone...hit a small puddle and the tire blew kinda yanking the wheel to the right directly into the curb...broke the ZR1 in half...couldn't belive it....blew both tires too. I actually hit rite when the curb started so it hit a hard flat surface if that makes sense.
