it doesnt look that bad... it only looks like the alignment bolt may have slipped and that the trailing arm is bent, not the end of the world but maybe time for a rear disc swap!

**** snow.

If it were my car, I would start by doing a rear-disc swap along with the trailing arms. You should be able to find a knuckle and just yank all the locating arms with it.

Then I would get an alignment. Don't tell the shop it was in an accident and see if it will align out. They might come back and say "Sorry, we can't get it to align within specs" and then there's probably frame damage.

doesn't look like any frame damage. i agree with everyone else, rear disc swap and get it aligned.

good thing you're okay and you weren't slammed.

yea im so happy i wasnt slammed, i was thinking about what you've told me earlier, and if i were smlammed **** could of got nusty.

Well, i guees im gonna wait a bit, take it to the body shop, just to make sure.

And then my as well do DA brakes all around

Hte only thing is that sometimes body can shift so slitghly that it hadr to see with the eye, but its already a write off

Don't just do the brakes, do all the locating arms as well.

Humm, looks like the toe and camber were afftected. Camber, of course, through the bending of the trailing arm unit and the toe setting was moved.

Looks like suspension damage to me. Totally fixable.

Serious? 'Gonzo' sounds cool. What would you prefer to be called? Its just an abbreviation off your screen name.

Misha, dont take that to a body shop, take it to a mechanic. I suggest doing so before you go and buy anything at all to put on it. Ask him for a quote of what needs to be done, and then just go do the work yourself. It's not bad, you actually got pretty lucky.

Speaking of snow I drove on some today. NEVER EVER EVER decide that "hey summer tires cant be that bad on snow"....

Fuzion ZRIs are awsome when its dry but 0 grip what-so-ever in the snow/ice.

I was drifting doing 5mph.


Oh yeah I got some header wrap and put it on.
